Hello

Well I believe I just successfully replaced my rear brakes and rotors

I had a seized caliper, that took the longest but I watched Eric Shays video on how to hammer the piston out by inserting a 4mm hex wrench and hitting the wrench until it pushes the piston out

Piston was a bit rusted in 2 small areas

I cleaned then and replaced piston

I did notice the outer seal was torn and I though all was lost

I replaced caliper, bled the brakes

Took her out for 17 mile spin braking at 5-10-20-30-40

Brakes feel good not strange noises

When I returned no leaks I could see, rear rims were not hot


I hope this is a success, if not I will buy 2 new calipers

Thanks to everyone for the advice

This was a learning experience, one I enjoyed very much.

Thanks

Mike
