Piston Came Out of Caliper During Service. Replace or Repair Caliper?
#42
Probably so, one too many brake panic threads I've read...and many state to replace the seals if this occurs. Test rode again last weekend, seems to be running fine.
/When/if you split them you would have to extra special to screw them up/
could you clarify this statement? not sure I followed...
what kind of torque specs on bolts when you reassemble the halves? loctite?
thx.

Thanks for pic.

They really are easy to assess if you pull them apart. I didn't use loctite, there didn't appear to be any on the threads and I just snugged the bolts by hand after I mounted them back on the fork for leverage.

Well, it was a nice way to say you would have to be retarded to screw them up.

Did the same thing about a week ago. I popped the piston back in and bled brakes. No issues with leaks or ABS. Did not start bike before bleeding. Used Mityvac and it was super easy. You'll know if there is a leak quickly due to the pressure. I have about 2000 miles on it since then.
Thank you.

Btw, a slight tangent for those interested...
Good photo...I'm going to borrow
In those threads that the OP states "I put my wheel on (new wheel, original wheel, friend's wheel, etc) and now my Rotor(s) rub my Caliper(s)"...
It's rubbing on Brembo's pad Guides (see below). The previous calipers didn't use guides because they used 2 pins instead on 1

EDIT: "front right"...How's your LEFT? and is your Right rubbing Outboard or Inboard?

Left caliper is ok, the front right inboard was rubbing...I took it to be a sticky piston, so cleaned them up and put new pads in both calipers whilst I had them off. Seems to be ok for now, there is an gap (not much!) now between the pad guide and the rotor.
However I noticed that the inboard pistons on both sides were not as far out as the outboard...
If they are meant to be equal I was going to try and shim the caliper to get it running dead centrally.
