R50/53 Replacing front brake caliper dust boots
Replacing front brake caliper dust boots
After my most recent track day I noticed that I cooked the dust boots on my front calipers. Last time I rebuilt the calipers I swore that I'd just buy rebuilt ones next time, and these still function fine, I just want to avoid getting dirt down near the seals. Anybody know if you can replace the dust boots on the R56 front calipers without having to bleed the brakes afterwards? I'm thinking that i can push the pistons out about halfway, swap the boots, and push the pistons back in, but it would make me feel better if someone had done it before me.
