Any advice on refurbing brake calipers? My GS front pads (4 in total) all seem to have completely different wear rates so should I change all the rubber seals and pistons (8 in total)?
If the pads are wearing unevenly, that's a sign that the pistons aren't pushing like they should. As long as the pistons are in good order (which you will find out when you dismantle), then a seal kit and a good clean should sort it out. New pads, of course! If you send me your email address (in Profile) I can send you a link to a how-to I did for someone on another forum. That needed to be pretty basic, so it may be a grandmother/eggs situation, but let me know.
I'd go to whichever is handier.

You're not going to palm me off with that old excuse? It rubs me up the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteI gotta hand it to you...I'm ROFL.
