![]() Most emphatically DO NOT REUSE THOSE SEALS. It is not worth risking it now you have possibly damaged them with degreaser. Quote:
Do not use brake fluid on them, haynes is full of ****. The brake fluid crystallises, expands behind the seals and actually causes brake drag. Better to put them in dry than use brake fluid. You can reuse banjos washers unless they are damaged for whatever reason or refuse to seal. To get your piston out, put a big cable tie or better yet a jubilee clip around it and use pipe grips over that.

Might give it a try next, so far this pot has done probably 50 calipers and there's plenty left.
