Morning all,
Just split, cleaned, and replaced the seals in front and rear calipers (TBH, Spuds 2 : Brembo 1. No inducement would free 1 of the front bleeders and I ended up cracking the case with a reverse threader
).
Still very much a job worth doing as the muck, corruption and stuck pistons have benefited from the attention.
Does anyone know the recommended torque setting for the half bolts. Searched all around but can’t find it. I’ll run with a low 20 ft/lb unless someone can advise.
Cheers, Stu
