Hi all...
i have finshed a repainting (rebuild) of my 1978 KZ400 front calipers.... (will be using original o-rings/seals and no one carries OME anymore)...
anyway, i have NOT yet reassembled things, but will soon...
What i plan to do is the following (please comment on the logic or lack-there-of):
- clean up all areas where "crush washers" will go (i'm using new ones)
- put old seals (still ok-ish) into caliper
- insert cleaned piston
- insert old pads (they have MUCH life left in them)
- mount mast. cyl. on handle bars
- rout brake lines (original) as appropriate
- reconnect all fittings for brake lines
- mount caliper on forks
- make sure all is "proper"
- TORQUE up all fits per specs
- fill system, bleed
?
does all this sound ok?
thanks...
