Rear caliper rebuild

Postby jschuld » Wed Jan 17, 2018 9:57 am

Hi All,

Both dust seals on the rear brake calipers are ripped, which i noticed when I wanted to replace the pads. Looks like it's been like that for a while so hopefully the piston is not too corroded.

Now I've done front calipers before and is a fairly straight forward job, but with the hand brake rotating thingie in there, I was wondering if I should be aware of some gotchas. Iv'e searched youtube and the usual suspects but nothing specific.

I've got a rebuild kit for both sides and it has way more seals and o-rings in there than I'm used to.

Cheers
J

Do a wee how to on it,

One of mine has a sticky hand brake lever and I could probably do with overhauling it myself :D
