Got a couple of jobs done tonight. The front axle is on axle stands and wheels off to finish the front brakes and change the radius arms back to standard speck.
I took the OSF caliper off the axle, I have replacement ones so got the one for that side and started the re condition. It was already painted but might clean it off as I don't think it was done with heap proof caliper paint.
Having read a few posts on hear, the best way to get the pistons out is blast some air through the pipes. So I made this.
Worked well, Luckily the secondary pistons came out first.
To get the primary pistons out, I split the caliper, put a G clamp on the hole and pulled the trigger, nothing
there was no whooshing air, no leaks nothing :scratching_chin: I checked the air line and all was good so I tried again and nothing :scratching_chin: so I tapped the piston with the hammer and BANG it shot across the workshop with the 10bar of pressuer behind it
so I did the other side, same again. Thinking of putting a target up and totting up points
So fun over, the inside, picture says 1000 words.
Hmmmm, some cleaning needed. got all of the grime out and blew threw the oil channels and got the inside all clean. Got new seals and pistons to put in and all will be good. Only another 3 corners to go.
