Wheel off, caliper removed, found the slider tubes where not as free as they should be so they came out and got polished with wire wool then refitted with red brake grease, next step was to compress the piston which again was quite tight so i pumped the piston half way out, peeled the lip seal back and polished the piston as best as possible while rotating the piston, this was then pressed home a couple of times while coated in red brake grease.
I know the caliper needs stripping, cleaning and resealing which is a job i've done quite a few times.
Anybody know where i can get a caliper kit?
Car has had a good run since and there are no leaks.
Edit....found them on the bay.
