Caliper service

[Tally]

My M.O.T. Inspector said when he passed my bike that the front brakes were binding so this weekend I stripped the calipers again and I'm glad I did . The calipers were soaked and so were the pads. So new pistons and seals went in and new pads are on order. Some pics of what I mean.

Pads arrived today so they can be fitted which I'll do tonight and tomorrow I will attach the calipers to the bike,tighten up and then bleed ready for a ride out at the weekend  .

Rear calipers were serviced yesterday, much easier than the fronts were , pistons were in excellent condition just needed a scrub with a green scotchbrite to clean up the edges, new seals went in although I don't think they needed them, peace of mind though knowing new ones are in place. Pads had plenty of meat left on them , so re-using. Went for a test ride no leaks or squeals so all good there. (F.y.i a 1/2 inch extension and a 14mm socket is needed if you are using the ratchet method to extract the pistons.)
