Hello, just spent half a day removing my front brake calipers as the RHS caliper seemed stuck and truly one pisto was completely jammed. The amazon had warped the discs once before and am feeing vibrations again, so heard that discs could be warped again.
Had to use a vice to press and use a screwdriver to remove the stuck piston with a lot of help of a hammer. Got a few dents on the lip of the piston and got it out. The plumbers pliers was handy too. I cleaned it and the other 3 pistons also. There were only some rust spots on them, came off easily, wd40 them and scrubbed clean.
Now, I dont have any of the red grease in my shed, so, am thinking of applying the High Temp copper grease on the pistons before I insert them back.
Is it Ok to do so? Let me know so that I dont make a huge mistake.
Cheers.
