Andy Marsh Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Just started to get a 1360 back on the road, not been moved for 10 years. i know i need to change the pads and discs, but what about the calipers, will they need changing or not.

Jason Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Brake fluid absorbs water and that will rust stuff. If it were me doing it, I would renew ALL seals in ALL brake components. You've got single circuit brakes which means if ANY seal fails you have no brakes :-/If you decide to chance it, budget to do the job sometime soon, old seals will let go eventually.You can recondition your own calipers but be aware that new ones aren't actually that expensive these days - show around and don't assume recon is cheaper than new!

Andy Marsh Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks Jason, had the wheels of on sunday and removed the pads, one bolt on the caliper seized and wont loosen, so need to sort it out. I am confused cant find any mention in the handbook about seals for the brakes. Where are they and how tricky are they to replace.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 You need a Workshop Manual, not a Handbook. The seals are inside the caliper next to the pistons. Stops the brake fluid 'peeing' out. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
