Brake piston removal

Caption "ah so this is why you change brake fluid every now and again!"

now they are all clean and shiny

Lucas , how did you get the caliper bodies away from the Sliders ? (seen bottom left hand side and bottom right hand side)

My front had a lesser amount of that carp in, doubt they had ever been done before.

My sliders just slid off, seemed to have a red-ish coloured grease inside the boots, but it wasn't 'red rubber grease'.

they just slide out, the rubber thingys will pops off

Ummm , mine don`t so I thought they were held in by some hidden circlip or something .

think its a mix of both, red rubber grease for the inside of rubber thingy and standard grease for the slider bars.

the rubber thingys + grease makes a good seal hence creating a suction effect. try popping off the rubber first.

they should just slip out, clean the bore the sliders go in, mine were full of crap.
