cost of new brake pads and caliper seals

[lee8040]

i need new brake pads and new caliper seals front and back on my zx6r j1 bike.

anyone had this done and no a rough price of what it costs?

[chris-red]

Pads £15-20 per caliper

Seals £50-£70 for the front, not sure about the rear, £10-20 at a guess.

Labour I imagine would be £100-150 if doing at a dealers.

Hi

6 pot calipers. Think there are 4 large and 2 small pistons per caliper.

From Wemoto the large seals are £5.15 and the small seals are £4.84. Another £6.64 for the seals for the rear caliper, and £2.22 each for the seals seperating the halves of the front calipers.

So £88 for the seals.

All the best

Keith

A set of seals for the front calipers are £38.50 off ebay

For a set of pads your probably looking at around the £20 a side mark depending on what you want (OE spec, Or HH Sintered/fast road etc)

But before you start to spend money on new seals (I take it the calipers are seized) Try to isolate 5 of the 6 pistons and pump the remaining one out, And clean it up with some brake cleaner. I have just done mine and they work perfectly now. Its a cheap easy fix that usually takes a couple of hours, And will only cost you a can of brake cleaner.
