Re: brake overhaul
You probably need to get some in around the seals, I bet you have bit of corrosion in there.

Re: brake overhaul
Best way I have found to remove a seized piston is to zip up a cable tie around it and then use some grips to rotate it out of the Caliper , the outside of the piston is protected by the soft plastic of the cable tie and inside it doesn`t matter does it . Hope this may help a bit . WeMoto are handy for complete seal kits by the way .

Re: brake overhaul
I would advise strongly to use the bikes built in, high pressure hydraulic brake piston removal tool.

Re: brake overhaul

And i've got clamps ready to hold the piston in while pumping out. |
