I am referbing my calliper and have striped it down, only problem is I have split the calliper not realising that I should not have split it. Acording to the online manual I should not have remaved the bolts holding it together. Have I done any serious damage to it by removing the bolts?

Thanks.

Have you just removed the bots or have you pulled it apart - Its not recommended to split them because it can be almost impossible to seal them back up properly afterwards - so you get leaks and air trapped - Cross your fingers and hope you get lucky...

I have pulled them apart. I noticed there were two small rubber gaskets seperating the two halfs, were the fluid goes from one side to the other, they seem to be in good condition. I will put them together and do the referb and will check them for leaks after a few miles.

Thanks.

What side is it youve done this to? Ive got a NSF one sitting in my garage only thing is the thread is stripped on the bit where the brake line attaches, i guess 2 knackered ones dont make a working one but if theres owt you can do with it youre welcome to it FOC if you pick it up!!

Thanks b19rks, I have put it all back together now and it seems to be working fine. Will keep an eye on it for leaks etc.
