Fazer Callipers

The other thing, this stuck piston we're talking about - I tried hard last night before giving up for the day to push it back in - the other 3 move out AND in freely, but I couldn't for the life of me force this one in. Just in case that system helps someone with a diagnosis.

I did that first time I did mine, they started binding within a year or so and needed redoing.

You might be alright with just pushing out each pot, greasing it and pushing it back in. I'd consider taking them apart and greasing them properly while the seals are still new, dunno if that's appropriate but it's cheaper than redoing them with new seals next spring.

Well, stripped down the troublesome piston again and the seals were seated correctly. I've put it back in and it does seem better this time so going to run with that for now.


Could I hell get the bearings out the front wheel, so paid the local bike shop a fiver for them to do it. Cleaned it up and put the new bearings in.


Now going to leave the bike overnight to make sure no leaks on callipers/banjo before putting the new discs and pads in place, but with any amount of luck I will have my bike back on the road by tomorrow night
