Default Calipers Again

Hello,

I have decided to get all 4 of my calipers reconditioned and coated red.

One of the calipers is sticking (Front Near Side) the rear near side I am also thinking may be slightly sticking but the other two are fine. The Front Off Side is only 2 months old from brake international.

As it is the same price to get them reconditioned and coated red whatever condition they are in, I wondered if someone wanted to come around, take my calipers off for me and swap anyones they want with sticking calipers of there own.

I dont touch the brakes myself so it would be an exchange, you get a new caliper in exchange for an old one and removal of all my calipers.

So any takers, I am in West Kirby, Wirral, if anyone is intrested let me know.

Cheers
Rob

Might try removing the calipers myself and getting a professional in to re-install.

How difficult is it to take the calipers off?

What tools are required?

Will all the brake fluid drain out? What happens if it does, will the lines corode if they are left a week with no fluid in?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Rob
