I'm sure this has been discussed here many times before, including quite
recently. Apologies for not paying attention before !
I need to replace the brake caliper piston seals. The workshop manual
says to use compressed air to remove the pistons. Is it that easy ? Can
you screw a bleed nipple into the hole where the brake line goes and
attach the air line to that ? Presumably one piston pops out first, so
how do you get the other one out ?
Is it possible to use the brake pedal to push them out ? I guess bleeding
out all the brake fluid first would save a lot of mess !
The brakes are qoking OK so I don't think the pistons should be too badly
stuck.
Thanks,
Julian.
PS. Many thanks to all those who replied to my request for info on UJ
replacement. Once I'd found a big vice it was a nice easy job. I REALLY
don't recommend trying to do it without a big vice. I wasted a whole
afternoon sworking those UJ's.
