Brake calliper powdercoat queries


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a few querries before taking out my black Ksports BBK callipers out for blasting and powdercoat :thumbs:

The powdercoaters have booked me in for next week and they want me to remove the pistons and any rubber part before sending it to them.

My question are:

 

- Once i disconnect the braided line from the caliper How can i prevent the brake fluid from leaking completeley or creating an airlock?

 

- I've been told to use an air gun to pop out the pistons is that safe or is there another way as i donot have an air gun at home? :blush: can i cover up the the pistons or is the a risk from shot blasting or baking?

 

- When refitting i want to take the opportunity to change the brake fluid. (Motul RBF 660) is it a case of flushing the old fluid out through each nipple while topping the new fliud constantly to prevent any lock or ?

 

- Any other advise will be usefully if you know about this :thumbs: Cue Zmanalex.

 

- Finally what do you guys think of yellow callipers peering through black wheels? (Like a Lambo or Porsche :teeth: )
