I once painted the bore and rebuilt it then the piston started sticking when the brake fluid dissolved the paint, Really sucked re doing it and getting another seal kit. Trying to save you the *** pain.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Use 100% silicone lube like a grease or brake fluid. When you put them together the piston has to be perfectly aligned to get it started then you can c clamp it together. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THE BLEADER OUT FIRST!

Mitch any tips? You have the same 4 piston calipers?
This is a pretty good how to
I HEAR THE CRICKETS SINGING!
Good Morning all
Whew thought I was lost! Morning M1!
Nope, may be everybody is making coffee.
Really nice out here this morning you also?
Yes. Clear and 63° outside my window.
We have had rain for ever it seems. Nice to have a day without it.
No doubt. I think we've gotten 2-3" a week for a month.
The crazy thing the pond is only 3/4 filled? Guess I have to re clay it soon. Now that's a dirty job for sure!
Geez, sorry! I was down finishing my paint job. Look, I cleaned off the paint on the LCA bushing surfaces and painted the end surfaces, even.
That will work. What seal you shreading on the calipers the one that looks like a square o ring?
I had everything lubed up and was very careful to square up the piston. Still sheared the seal every time. Managed to get the first one in, oddly enough.
Then I applied a little compressed air, thinking the escaping air flow would force the seal out to let the piston in. Didn't help.
Yup.
Got a pic of one of your pistons around?
The bottom of the piston is what I would like to see.
howdy
