Posted October 30, 20168 yr hi all, well i joined this site a few days ago but didnt think i,d need help already but i do..... just bought a xt 600 1991 that has been standing a while so obviously the brake binds ,so i dismantle the rear brake but although soaking the piston in wd40 i cant get the piston back in , i pressume its push back and not screw? i have searched but nothing found for the xt600 cheers all
October 30, 20168 yr Should just push back, however i'd recommend using brake cleaner and NOT wd40. You may well need to replace the seals in the caliper if they are old and perished Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk
October 30, 20168 yr If youve taken the piston out and not replaced the seals, theres a chance that the old seals have "swelled" once the piston was out. . If it were me, Id have the old seals out, thoroughly clean everything, check the piston fits ok before fitting the new seals in. Then refit all
November 14, 20168 yr Author thanks for the replys, ive bought the gasket kit now and cleaned the piston ,but the trouble was the sliders,one was so badly corroded it had to be drilled out ,so once they were replaced everything is fine, thanks once again
