Ordered new rear caliper seals and got one of the pistons out - old dust seals literally fell apart in my hand :\
Tried to split the caliper but it was having none of it! Had the caliper attached to the caliper bracket backwards (so I could get to the two bolts) then used a good fitting socket and my 750mm breaker bar and nada. I was able to lift the front wheel with the breaker bar whilst the bike was on the centre stand :| Looks like I'm doing this the fiddly way!
