been told they can be changed as have a caliper weeping around the piston?
if so easy to too? and where car i get the seals from?
would a foot pump on the line push the piston out? or that a silly idea?
thanks

Caliper Rebuild Guide - www.306gti6.com/forum/...489&page=1
Ive heard mixed reviews about the bigg red caliper rebuild kits, peugeot sell them but they seem to be around £25 a side. Although i should imagine the bigg red kits are fine for normal road use.

Google Big Red and email them with what you need and the casting marks on the caliper.
Plenty of guides online too.
