They need to be able to come off to change disks, so if there is going to be a problem might as well face it now.

Suggestion · Original poster

Days gone by I would just pop the Pistons clean and replace with some calliper grease, maybe change the seals as well, is this doable on these callipers or can I put some brake fluid behind the seals and exercise then.

If you have seen my other threads you will know I'm not one for taking the short route :floor: I would probably take the pair of calipers off the car, clean them, strip them and change seals, pistons changed as required.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Opinions appreciated. Steve

POST 2Original post

I would do what you say, not a difficult job Just hope the bolts come out of the upright OK. MC

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Would you not do them in situe. Rather than chance them bolts stripping
