Ok i stripped my front brakes down to clean them as i have been getting a squeal from the front from starting about 40ish, when i noticed that on both sides i am getting uneven pad wear.
So have ordered some replacement seals of the internet and i am going to attemp to strip and replace all the relevant seals on both brake calipers, soooooo i have been reading my haynes manual and was wondering if anyone had any hints / tips that they found helped when do their brakes.
Reason for asking there is a small section that is a bit grey to me, basically the manual says to clamp a bit of wood over one side to prevent the pistons on one side from moving, then to apply pressure to the brake lever until the oter side "pop" out, it then says to remove the seals and replace the pistons, clamp the wood on this side and repeat to get the other pistons out.
the grey area for me is once i get the first set of pistons out what stops air getting back into the system........and yes i intend to replace the brake fluid with fresh stuff.
Cheers
