Last year my offside rear caliper started sticking so I had it refurbed by CPC when it was serviced. I'm now getting the same thing on the front nearside caliper and am thinking of doing it myself - probably both of them while I'm at it as it does seem to have got to the age/mileage when these things are starting to happen
I have had a read of the refurb thread in the Knowledge Base and have a couple of questions:
Looking at www.brakeparts.co.uk there are 3 things listed:
Caliper Service Kit (BCK6003) @ £15.48
Caliper seal kit (BCS6003) @ £12.04
Caliper piston (BCP6019) @ £18.46
What's in the caliper service kit and am I right in thinking that it includes the seal or do I need the seal kit as well? I'm assuming that replacing the piston at the same time is the sensible thing to do (Phil did)
In the Knowledge Base thread the writer said that they had used an air line to blast the old piston out. What the best way of doing this if you don't have an air line? Any particular tools recommended for this and the rest of the job?
