Stripped & refurbed a set of std callipers.
They were off the the recent Blonkey purchase & whilst not in a terrible state, the pin cap grub screws were super tight. So when I brought the bike home the front brakes were terible verging on non exsistant.
The first job on it was to swap the callipers for a refurbed set & blead them up. I wanted to use the pads that were in them as they had loads of meat on them...Probably due to the crapness of them!
Any hoo the pin cap screws would not shift so I split the callipers to get the pads out, sorted the swapped callipers out & left the removed ones with the caps soaking in plus gas.
Today they were still solid & at risk of chewing up so with the pistons & seal out into the sonic cleaner for a hot wash. Half way through took that side out, clamped in a vice one smack of a impact driver & the fekers came undone. The pad pin itself was also a bit on the tight side I suspect a lack of copper grease last time they were stripped.
All clean now & rebuilt...

Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
