For the few dollars it costs, I would send them out to a brake shop to get them
rebuilt by someone who has the tools and experience. They will clean them up
ready for paint and replace the seals and pistons as needed.

Subject: [Healeys] Split the Calipers?
Hi All,
Time to attack the front calipers on the BT7. They've been sitting for over 30
years and are really sad looking.
I'm thinking the only way I'm going to get a purchase on them to get them out
is to split the calipers. The factory manual, however, sez (in BOLD) to not
attempt this. Why is this? In the archives folks say it can be done.
Anything I have to watch for other than being clean and careful?
Cheers and Thanks,
Mike Tobin
