Matey you're confusing pistons/seals with caliper body seal, which looks like a small washer and seals the gallery between the caliper half here top right one and only one. ![[Image: 49720516252_2fc2772e8c_c.jpg]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49720516252_2fc2772e8c_c.jpg)

[/quote]One it is then. Could you point me to it on fowlers please. I just keep finding it as a kit and not on its own.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Here No 2 https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/528...ar-caliper It's slightly smaller in O/D but works perfectly fitted loads on them.

If you've got piston pliers and your caliper is as you say and the pistons are moving freely, you should be able to get the pistons out without splitting the body. It just makes cleaning the seal rebates and fitting new seals a little harder, only you can make the decision. Try without splitting if you have to you'll just have to bite the bullet and order the seal, Fowlers are good for delivery times. [/size][size=78%] [/size]

Yep think I will get the webmoto one as mentioned in that case. From my research the washer is 10mm x3 mm ?.Fingers crossed I will be ok but just panicking that there will be a total lockdown and I will not be able to do the job for the sake of a stupid little washer :lol

[/quote] O.K then but I don't mean the piston fluid seals or dust seals as I have already stated on two different sites, these are neither & it says two?

Fazersharp, I have never split a caliper to replace seals, I can see how it is probably easier to clean out the seal grooves but I found that by holding one piston in & blowing the other out with a car foot pump hold the piston in with something other than your fingers & prepare to jump as they come out sometimes with force do that side clean grooves fit seals lube seals push piston back in & repeat on the other side.
For blowing out the pistons insert a adaptor that comes with most pumps the long funnel shaped one into the caliper where the brake hose connects. Don't buy your seals from Wemoto as someone on here found they didn't fit. The adaptor required a rag around it to seal against the caliper may required to get a airtight seal. https://www.bikestop.co.uk/oxford-air-va...gK2ifD_BwE Good luck.

They're wrong, I would suggest you exercise caution when looking at independent aftermarket websites/sellers they often get it wrong. The same goes for you offering advice to people on how to do things especially brakes when, by your own admission you've never done it and you clearly don't really know what your doing.  top [size=78%] [/size]

Never done it, scour the internet for others advice/Utube etc the offer advice to others which is wrong :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin It would be funny, but it's not others will believe you and get it wrong or it this case spend money the don't have to. Mine you people like you do put money my way  as owners bring their bikes to me after they've tried following internet forum advice form the likes of you or tried following Utube, only to find out they've been told wrong and it's not as easy as it looks.
