Rear calipers rebuild kits and how tos

[darrenjlobb]

What is the special tool you need?

I rebuild these fairly often / don't think any of the tools I use are special other than just a bog standard rewind tool to put piston back in after...

You can get rebuild kits from big red, and comes with all you need bar grease. For any calipers which have had failed main dust seals get a kit with new pistons, as the old ones will be pitted and no good.

Also always worth cracking bleed nipple before you start to make sure its free, as when they snap off its a real pain / very tricky to repair yourself at home, I would say replace caliper for what there worth if that happens...
