Brake calipers - overhaul or new

<< < (3/3)

vtrdaz:
cheers for the tips chaps - do you have to split the caliuper to get the pistons and seals out?

thepsychoman:
Not worth mucking about with refurbing them - they just stick again anyway. Paddocks do a complete calliper for about £60 complete! Buy, fit and forget.

Secondly... specialist tools not really needed as long as you have a pipe wrench (for getting the stubborn old pistons out) and I managed without a brake piston rewind tool. However, the latter would be useful. The only other thin I could suggest is a brake pipe flaring kit, cuz anytime I've takkled brakes... the pipes are always rotten and I need to get new ones. But I have a kit and some pipe/unions if your stuck.
