Overhauling front brake calipers of a Suzuki DR 650

Showing how to overhaul the front brake calipers of a Suzuki DR 650.
Had to cook the housing in soap water to get rid of the remains of the sealing rings.
There was some strange goo inside the cylinder...maybe age old brakefluid??
Please be absolutely sure about your abilities if you intend to work on brakes! Test: If you can forget about it afterwards and sleep well, it was probably all right ;) .

Thank you for the video. What do you use to push the cylinders out of their sockets (at 3.50 minutes)?

Thank's for uploading! Got two identical calipers waiting for overhauling and it's my first time on these so, it helps a lot 👍

Thanks. The brakes are really better now, as I have also installed a new disk and a steel braided brake line.

@@lynxonwatch Mine too 👍 Next up I'm making steel bounded brake lines. Can I ask where you bought the front disk? Every seller I can find are out of stock...
