Right Rear Caliper - nasty

[The Mighty Quinn]

Take a look at the piston on my right-rear caliper

Doesn't look like the piston has done too much work in a while..

Reman units acquired to replace. Will keep the old calipers to refurb myself in due course.


Cheers,
Karl.

Yeah that's bad.. Hope you are coating the new one before fitting to prevent that happening again

Yeah Andy, what do you reckon - a bit of copper grease on the open parts of the piston and a good coat of red rubber grease on the carrier sliding pins?


Cheers,
Karl.

Yep that will help, also a coat of clear lacquer on the main body will keep the rust at bay for a while.
