rear caliper refurb

The problem being with the new disc and pads the pots have to go all the way home for everything to fit inside the caliper.
One was badly corroded and deeply pitted to the point where it wouldn't seal properly. Being a cheapskate I've decided to
fork out a fiver for new seals and have a go at turning a new pot. (see pic) I've given them a spray of Halfords caliper paint too for good measure.
Hopefully it'll work out ok, I'll find out when I get her back on the road.  :thumbup


The difference between you and me though Celtic is your a cleaver bugger and I an not, if I need new pots I will have to buy them.
I take it then if you need new pots you have to split the caliper then Doh! = total strip down.
