Caliper rebuild - how?
After a few Scottish winters, the SV's brakes were in serious need of a refurb.... Have taken the calipers apart to clean everything but the rubber bits split so have ordered a kit with replacement seals and rubber bits...
Just wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a wee guide to putting the seals on etc.... TIA. |

Re: Caliper rebuild - how?
There's a guy on youtube who is an ex-mechanic. His youtube name is Moonfleet41 and he has a video called delboy's garage - caliper rebuild. He has a few how to videos on his channel that I found very useful. Perhaps check out his video.

Re: Caliper rebuild - how?
I did a Youtube video on this subject a short while ago, but it was more instructional on swearing than mechanics.
Not sure if it will help you, but you never know.
