Well not difficult to take the calipers off and with htmbo on the brake pedal, to force the pistons out.
fitting the seals and pistons easy......the dust seals and circlips. ..what a bugger
but
A small dab of superglue on the dust cover seating area....then circlips went straight on. It took an hour of struggling with one seal and circlip before the idea struck me
Superglue onto the metal edge, slide the dust cover over, hold for 10 secs. Then easy peasy.
Hoses changed,but wrong ones sent.
All in all a dirty job but nice when done.
next job to repaint the caliper bodies RED

next job to repaint the caliper bodies RED Good to hear. When nobody is looking don't forget to bake the caliper paint in the oven or BBQ - but take of the dust covers first!!
