I was most pleased to find that the usual corrosion problems behind the pail retaining rails was almost non existent... and even better, when i cleaned a couple of the pistons up, they were still as new too... there was a tiny amount of pitting on the 38mm piston but cetainly not enough to warrant replacing it, as it will be shoved all the way back in when i fit my new pads...
these were the 4 pistons taken out of one caliper.... http://www.pumapeople.com/forum/index.php?automo...i&img=11119
I think the key to success with the Alcons is... strip them down and service them thoroughly... then leave them alone and let them bed.... just blasting them with brake cleaner alone is a waste of time in my opinion...
Enjoy the piccies... go to the gallery technical to view the full resolution...
Just though i'd update this post as iv'e finsihed now.... it took a little while longer than planned as i had to split one of the calipers to get at one of the knackered torx screws.... what a pig to remove...
pictures are in the Technical Gallery....
