Default Re: Front brake callipers - rebuild or replace?

I agree with everybody else, rebuild is the way to go.
I had the scabbiest calipers I'd ever seen on my project & thought that I'd try compressed air, which failed, so then used a grease gun. I'd never tried this method before, but had heard that it was very successful, so thought why not? It worked brilliantly, the only issue I had was trying to get both of the pistons out at the same time as 1 moved faster than the other. I then cleaned the grease out of the calipers, cleaned them up & replaced the seals as the pistons weren't too bad at all.
