ok just got the diff back in took some time i made the mistake of putting the springs back in then jacking up the diff and trying to put the radius arm to chassis bushes in. if you have a lift kit you need to jack the diff all thee way to the bump stops practically without the spring in, then put the radius arm to chassis bushes in and get the nuts started then drop the diff back down and chuck the wrings in then jack it back up. i just learnt that the hard way. now i have these works manuals from i prob should read them but hey where is the fun in that haha
put a rag in the caliper so the piston does not fly out and caefull blow the piston oout with alittle compressed air
take seal out and clean everything up. use abit of wet and dry sand papper on the piston.
just gently only take off the rubbish no metal, this piston is perfectly machined to fit the caliper cylinder.use p320
reasemble using the seals,boots and rubbers in your caliper kits
btw always remember that these things save your life everytime you put your foot on the brake pedal so take you time, don't cut corner and do things properly. don't just go off what i have given you here, get a works manual and follow it.

i wish there was more hours in a day. still need to press on my new disc rotors, grease everything up and put it all back together , clean out rear diff and get in back in, gease rear diff bearing and get it all back to gether, set preload, backlash , get centres back in, get motor in cause its all wired up and almost ready to fire for the first time!!!!!
according to the workshop manual the backlash should be between .15 and.20 that seems like an absolute bucket load to much to me. anyone one here a diff specialist?
haha my drive flange after i took to it with the plasma cutter because i couldn't get the bugger undone. i tried the rattle gun on full power, i heated it, i froze it, i welded a long piece of metal to the pinion drive flange then put a piece of 2 metre long exhaust pipe over my breaker bar and IT BROKE MY BLOODY BREAKER BAR !!!!!!!!!!!!
so pulled out the plasma cutter and cut it off haha that fixed it.
it was so think that while the plasma cutter was trying to pierce all the way throw the molten plasma was flowing down the side of the flange and dripping onto the floor and turning back to metal haha. needless to say i found this to be a bucket load of fun. i love burning steel hahahahahahahahahaha
