removed my calipers earlier to replace the discs and pads (warped discs) only to find that the little slider on each caliper was seized solid. So ended up ripping the rubber seals on both calipers to remove the plastic bush and sure enough the indsides were corroded!
So thats easy enough, then on the o/s i found the the seal for the big slider was basically non-existent and the rubber boot around the piston wasn't secured into the caliper and the piston looks a little corroded.
So the plan basically is to completly over-haul the front caliper, new slider bushes, seals, piston seal, clean the piston up.
So came to remove the bush from the large slider and that thing is well and truley wedged in there. So my question, does the bush for the large slider press in???
