Yeah im proper bored at the moment, so im putting my time to good use.

Last week i replaced the master cylinder and flushed the old cruddy fluid from the front brakes and noticed a difference straight away. After a couple of days i noticed the "surging" has returned, i know the discs are straight and tidy so i am gonna over haul the calipers.

What stuff to get from wemoto peeps.

you could just try removing the calipers and cleaning the pistons and greasing dont have to buy new parts/seals etc.

Please don't mess around with your brakes yourself then.

Took me 5 days to solve the issues I created by trying to fix them.

Brakes are easy to work with. Very simple really. The master cylinder overhaul kit was easy to install.
I just need to know what seals to get etc innit
