Hello,

I always rebuild my calipers by separating them first, zinc plating them,
and then only assembling them..
Also, be careful not only of low quality seals, but also of the stainless
steel used on the pistons - some of the stainless steel is not too
stainless.. (I am no expert here, but if magnet sticks to it, I would be
suspicious). To make sure of the material, I usually buy it myself and then
go to machinist to make them for me.

BTW, Girling called the grease for brakes 'red grease' I believe.


Best, Tadek
