brakes seem promising now! thanks to AWK figured out how to get new pads in one of the pistons went back easy (without brake resi lid of or the bleed screws.) so hopefully once im ready to do brakes the other piston will move!

Did you lube the pins on the calis?

not yet. just checked to see if pads would fit. then took them back out as iv still to clean them and take the chewed up bleed screw out. but they fit good might need to spend more time on the other cali though as piston is not budging

Might think about this: Front Brake Caliper Rebuild Kit Yamaha YFZ350 Banshee 2000 2001 2002 2003 | eBay
and this, but in small tube:CRC/Brake and caliper synthetic grease (05359) | Brake Lube | AutoZone.com
grease can get at local auto parts, this is just example

On stuck piston might have to pull line and blow it out with air. This is only if you can't get it to push in with a clamp, only problem is the brakes can be a biotch to bleed.

yeah mate gona do that don't worry the brake container has been run dry so im gonna need to bleed them to full haha. il get the rebuild kits ordered tonight whats the best thing to use to clean the calipers (inside and outside to make them look better.)

 

[Motocrossguy17]

gonna try pick the rebuild kits up where i got my bleed screws as i can get them cheaper i think from my local shop.

thanks man getting there!lol applying for a job today or next week depending when i get a form , and if i get it il be earning £1000/$1600 a month so nice money to spend got my pad on in the end. had to trim it abit though as the velcro straps were to wide to go between the steering stem and the clamps.

well turns out my caliper that i thought was seized was fine. for some reason i used a bigger screwdriver againest it with a old brake pad and it wouldn't move. tried a thinner screwdriver and got it moving in 2 seconds lol squirted a lot of fluid out though! gonna dismantle them and clean and rebuild them! anyone know what i can let them soak in to clean dirty off from inside and outside

 

[Motocrossguy17]

got my bar pad on but need to trim it some more as its still to wide to fit through between stem and clamps.

Don't know of anything to soak them. As long as you still have hose and bleeder on dish soap and water will work with a brush. Make sure they are dry before removing line or bleeder. Final clean-up just use brake clean.
