Im Partway through rebuilding a set of Standard calipers for my car.

 

Just making sure there isnt anything ive missed or should do, so far ive popped the pistons out, cleaned everything up and im about to replace all the seals (using a kit). Should i pre-oil the seals or anything fancy like that, or put it all together dry and let the caliper fill up with oil when i fit them to the car and change the fluid?

 

Never done any before so just looking for some handy hints if anyone has any experience.

 

Thanks

Put plenty of brake fluid on all the piston and seals before assembly Bud.Dont assemble dry.Smear copper grease onto backing plates of pads.

I did think assembling dry wouldnt be the best idea, hence why i checked, awesome cheers Vinz.

 

I shall do that tomorrow, with my newrebuilt calipers i should be okay with dot 5.1 fluid yeah?

Dotty 5.1 is correct young man.
