Some of the marks extend beyond the dust seal when the pistons are pushed home for fitting new Pads. :eek
On the poor advice of copper grease on the Pistons I would have to question the persons :fish knowledge of brakes, brake piston seals and copper grease. I have seen instances of premature wheel bearings fail from fellows coating the axle with copper grease, the copper getting into the bearings. In one case it was when a fellow asked me if he was fitting the bearings correctly after 3 failure in 18000 miles that I realised what he was doing.
The copper grease would more than likely cause premature wear on the seals.
I repeat what I said earlier, if mine were like that I would replace them. :rolleyes
Brakes are not an item I would ever skimp on and the same applies to tyres. :eek
