front brakes
#17
(17-10-11, 12:16 AM)Fazerider link Wrote:Carefully squeeze the brake lever with one set of callipers off (and pads out) until the pistons are most of the way out of the cylinders, a bit of wood about 12mm thick and about 30mm wide for them to bump up against is a good way to discourage them from popping out.

you can get those Brake piston tools http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produc...=SRC-brake  (ive seen them cheaper than this one, seen them for about £25ish)

i think most peoples worries/problems are they don't know how to far to pump the piston out before it pops out. i know people on here have asked for the piston sizes before to try and combat this problem.

I think if your going to clean your brakes a lot then buying a tool like the one listed above will be worth it.
