It was more because I'd not had a caliper in bits before, was I going to find I needed some special tool to get the seals out, insert the new ones, or anything like that. Any kind of 'gotcha!' that was likely to reveal itself only once I have the pistons out and old brake fluid all over my lap.

Re: Rebuilding calipers?
You could one of these from some where like halfords, helps get the stubborn pistons out when the miss' won't let you bring the compressor in the house.

Re: Rebuilding calipers?
Is there a picture missing from that post?
BTW anyone got any recommendations on a particular one of those "reverse G-clamp" like tools for forcing pistons back in/pads apart? |

Re: Rebuilding calipers?
Personally no, because I don't think pistons should need that much force. If it does then somethings wrong.

Re: Rebuilding calipers?
Ta, can see it now. Is there a special name for those sort of pliers if I can't see it on the shelves?
