well both callipers are apart and i now have new pistons plus all the seals.
what i would like to know is, what is the best way to fit the dust seals, they seam to be a very tight fit and i dont want to shag them whilst fitting them what graese should i use to lube the piston up with when i press it back in. dont realy want to use brake fluid as it smells and is messy
cheers. i will get some pics up to later |

Good luck with the brakes mate, I've just taken mine off and swaped them with valver brakes when I was going to sell my car and tbh the valver brakes suck compared to the 21T ones. I'm so used to not pushing very hard for the car to stop but now I have to apply a fair bit of effort again..
