Caliper Query

[yorkie_chris]

By the way if they're proper siezed you won't get them out with a compressor, you sometimes need to use hydraulics.

If you can get one out, then seal the caliper, fill it with water and press the free'd off piston in with a G clamp to force the other out.

Does anyone know how much new seals are likely to be roughly?

I have thought about getting a compressor too. would be very handy. £60 aint bad either. that'll be one for next payday

I got a full set of genuine Suzuki front seals for about £30. One gotcha I came across if you go to a dealer, the part number in the Suzuki catalogue covers two pistons worth of seals (enough for 1 caliper) so dont order twice what you need
