    Caliper rebuilds are not rocket science. I did both ends on mine. The hardest part i found was getting the piston boot on evenly as the was stuff all room on one side of the piston. I found putting the boot on first and then pushing the piston in. After a few coats of jam to pretty them up they were on.uploadfromtaptalk1480933845288.jpg

    Hi Covo71 the kit was rubber components only - not the pin - ordered through local auto parts supplier.

    Regards Peter

    Yeah, I have seen them seperate but not together. Not a great drama though. They are sliding smoothly at the moment so it will be an after Xmas job.

    Caliper paint actually. The fronts in the pic are when I finished the TB48 brake upgrade. But, if your going to the hassle of a total caliper rebuild, you might aswell make them look pretty, and finished. Well I think anyway.

    GUrl! No point in taking the time to rebuild them and not paint them I reckon. Atleast if you paint them it look like you've done something. Lol.
