Thanks pal, great tutorial! I got a 98 RSTD that really needs back brakes...pistons are way out and filthy...gonna give this a try next rainy weekend! Looks like a 4 beer job...

 

Cheers!

Good video Puc... I think every one aught to rebuild a caliper once in their life time to understand what's going on. But keeping 'm clean is a good alternative.

I 100,000,000 % totally agree with you Jack = wise is the man who knows whats going on between those two wheels!!! Gotta say though, I figured this little trick out years ago when the MX industry went to disc brakes (got TIRED of rebuilding calipers) and to this day,, I can count on one hand the amount of times since regularly cleaning those pistons like this that I have had to pop out a piston and do a rebuild... I know,, sounds as crazy as your ol buddy Puc but hey,, it's worked for me over the years..
