coxy Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hi Currently rebuilding a front brake calliper on a 2010 Gas Gas pro which I was having trouble with the front brake binding and getting hot causing the front wheel to lock. Dismantled the calliper and removed the old pistons and seals to put fresh ones in. I have thoroughly cleaned the seal grooves and calliper ready to put them in. My question is does anybody have any tips for installing the new front pistons and seals? obviously a bit of brake fluid on the piston will aid installation but any other tips? Can the pistons be put in the freezer to make them smaller to ease installation? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
