Todays Task - Stripping and Cleaning Brakes

[StevenF]

First challange was to get the pistons out. I had a dry system so couldn't use fluid to push then out. I resorted to using a car/tyre pump, was a pain in the arse and it took forever. Trying to get a good sealed air connection was a nightmare. Anyway eventually took the first piston out and gave it a little clean:

Taada!

Took the slider pin out of the rear calliper, needed a bit of a clean!

After a clean

There was also a chip out of this one, but it didn't seem to be leaking before so should be ok.

Everything went well for a change! Nothing broken (unheard of) I need to get done red rubber grease before re-assembling everything. Am I right in thinking the slider pin pictured above should be greased, as well as the two sliders in the two pictures bellow?

Yes red rubber grease is the one to use on the sliders.
