Hi Ray,

Thanks for the reply. No worries. I got the job done.

The biggest challenge for me was to properly seal off each cylinder while I attempted to blow out its opposing piston. I prepared a narrow piece of 1/4" oak, cut a piece of Scotch Brite abrasive pad for cushioning, and carefully wrapped it with a rubber glove to provide a seal. Whatever it takes...

I also found three of the pistons very stubborn, but I got them to blow out after carefully compressing them a little further into their bores.

Everything cleaned up nicely, and the FTE seal kit went in very well. I carefully wire-wheeled the calipers and painted them with VHT caliper paint. They look nice now, but we'll see after a couple of years.

I wish I could say my car is on the road, but now I am about to dive into a clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder replacement. The PO left this for some time given the rust around the pedal area, but it could be worse.

Thanks again for your support. I will download your guide for future reference.

Cheers,

Brian
