Caliper rebuild question
Many years ago I had ss inserts put in my original capilers. Now one front is leaking and will require a rebuild.
Question, will the stock rebuild kit work for calipers with the ss inserts?
Also, what size of the auto bleeder do I need for the front calipers?
Thanks

Hi
Stock seals will work fine because the inner diameter of the SS insert is the same as it was originally.
I suggest to get the O-ring piston kit instead of the old original lip seals.
VBP sells this and it is just as easy to install as the lip seals, may be even easier.
Good luck. Günther
