Blo0dy 'ell.

They've come up a treat

:D

took long enough, was a pain to get the pistons out, had to huck them up to my master C and pump them out, was nervous about pulling the pistons as you cant get bremob seals unless you spend loads of time and effort (only ktm sell brembo seals and there communication is use less)

[yorkie_chris]

Good stuff. One place cleaning pays off. See what I mean about the coating throughout? Most of jap stuff is plain alloy inside the seal recesses.

Can't tell you more about the seals than you already know, maybe greek or tilt know something more.

yup there was not a spot of corrosion or rust on them at all, and the seals looked nearly new

Hi, you can get all the spare parts for the brembo callipers from KTM, they are the only people that are allowed to supply brembo seals and other stuf, you just need to get the stuf for a 2004 KTM 660 smc the brake is the same as RSV mille 1998-2000 falco (most years) tuono 2003 - 2005 (i think) you just have to order 2x of every thing as the smc only has one brake

just spent £60 on 2 pad springs, 4 titanium pins, and a bleed nipple ......

now i need custom brake lines,pads and loads of bolts

Top job, since they look as though they are in the sink, what did you clean them with to get them sooooo good, was it Fairy???

[Milky Bar Kid]

Is that what you had in the dishwasher yest?

[Holdup]

You got a shiner on your face? you know, where your mum beat you up for using the dishwasher, more to the point, you can use the dishwasher?!?!?!?! or did you goggle the instructiosn first :wink:

[yorkie_chris]

If you going to do any bare ally in dishwasher don't use them block things... they turn stuff black.

Jif works pretty good if you doing it by hand.

[barwel1992]

to start with wd40 and a brush that didn't work but softened the much up (you have no idea how hard it was to get off) so use a soft wire brush still looked cr&p, but thought i would now pop the pistons out, so did that in the garage. Striped all the seals out and cleaned them in warm soapy water. Then tried using a plate scrubbing thing that did naff all, then stuck it in the dish washer twice once with a tablet and once without, still weren't that clean, so got some jif on a scouring pad and spent the next hour cleaning them like that, and they came out like in the above pics

I did go OTT on the cleaning but means it wont be so hard next time i suppose

and holdup the dish washer just sprays hot (65c) water around so id say your safe for some metal things (as long as they dont have bearings, seals still in them or plastic) not like its using acid lol

and no i didnt get a slap, they still dont know i use the dish washer ;)

[Holdup]

No i didnt mean that, i mean you, personaly, know how to work the dishwasher :wink: do look good though

[barwel1992]

cause i know how to use the dish washer .... any how its called a bike part washer :D
