 |
|
Ive a problem with a sticky calliper, the pistons wont go in , even to put new pads in, i cleaned it a while ago, and it fixed it, but this time its worse, i was thinking of getting new pistons for it, does anyone know how easy or difficult that is to do?
also theres no cover for the piston, it seems that its exposed to the elements, which is the problem i think, as i live up a track which is either muddy or dusty, ive looked at other ldv pilots, and the are all the same,
does anyone have any suggestions as to what i can do to prevent this happening again.

You could get some stainless steel caliper pistons made by this company http://www.kitek.co.uk/kitek%20pistons.htm
Stainless ones don't rust so won't stick.
