    Siezed brake piston

    Hi guys I was just checking my front brakes to see if they were stick on a bit and I noticed that only one piston was out while the other one was still so I foolishly pumped the brake pedal a few times and all of a sudden saw fluid leaking.
    So I have one popped out piston and one seized one what can I do to get the piston back in so I can refit the caliper?

    I'd buy them. I have dealt with these guys before. They offer great service and their products are fine. They also do cheap bearing kits with quality bearings. Depending where you live, if you shop in person, the price is better than their ebay listed price.

    I had seized brake callipers and one seized piston in my two front brakes. I found it easier to recondition my existing ones and it was very cost effective as well, changed all the seals while i was at it and now the brakes could stop anything haha
