I'm giving my brakes a strip down and cleaning everything. Took one of the seals and it looks like its damaged slightly. Wondering if I would get away with reusing it or should it really be replaced?

Thanks

I felt guilty about reusing mine and they were pristine.

I'd replace if I were you. Throw a few quid at David Silver or Wemoto for a full set for both callipers.

If that's the only one that's ruined I have a spare front dust and fluid seal that you can have (one of each). PM me.

That is a dust seal not an inner distortion seal.It could be reused.

I used to run calipers without dust seals on my Honda 750 special.
