  • Cleaned and rebuilt the front caliper.

    Fuck me cleaning is a mission. Still not spotless, but plenty good enough. Defo a lesson in a little and often.

    Didn't replace all the rubber bits as most was in good shape. The seals looked fine, but having to use the end of a sharp knife to remove them to check, meant I was happier replacing. I got a stainless pad retaining pin at the same time as the old one had seen better days.

    A question on bleeding a dry caliper:

    Am I better using some old brake fluid to reverse bleed to fill the caliper, then replace with new fluid? Just thinking it would be a waste otherwise.

    Cheers.
