Once I was happy with that I needed to get the caliper pistons out, which was HELL of a pain, as the corrosion around the tops made them almost impossible to get out. I had to use a lot of compressed air, clamps & big grips.
Getting the first one out was fine, but then you have to put it back in so you can work on the next piston & so on and so on, especially if they are corroded in and won't come out. Or am I missing some trick to it ?
But after a lot of faffing they did call come out.
