The Haynes manual suggests leaving the master cylinder connected and pumping out the pistons (two at a time) with it. Makes sense if you don't have access to compressed air.

[@MotoGarageTV]

That's a good way as well. It does get a little complicated once you have one side out. Piston pliers work well if you do not have a compressor. I plan on uploading a video in the next few days to go over that way as well. Thanks for the tip.

great instructions. judging by the honey its been awhile for clean fluid

[@aguiristante]

Great instructions

[@MotoGarageTV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@xroadracer]

I think you did a great job. Thank you VERY much!

[@MotoGarageTV]

Thank you too!

[@creationsofmindRS]

Thank you so much for this video. I've just doing this and it helped a lot! Amazing videos, hope there will be more :) Btw do you know maybe does seals from some other models fits also? Thank you!

[@MotoGarageTV]

Thanks. I'm not sure if other seals would work or not.

[@MartialDuartist]

See those two silver star-shaped things on the calipers? What are they, and can they be replaced?

[@iceman1213kay]

You can remove them with a blue dot caliper tool. Cost about £15. No need to replace them but if you remove them there is a seal that will need replacing before installation.

[@MotoGarageTV]

Thank you for getting back to this answer. You are absolutely correct. There is no real need to replace other than to change the color. These came in a few color variations. Good luck

You've no clue how to strip a caliper.

[@MotoGarageTV]

I'm happy to learn a better way. Send me the link to your video. Thanks

Is there an orientation for the seals ? I heard something about a lip ? How do you know which way to install ?

[@MotoGarageTV]

There is, it's noticeable hard to mix up once you see the new seals. There are 2 sizes as well, which both have an orientation to them. Hope this helps.

[@dickquist9483]

Hi received the kit today but i cant seem to find the right orientation. Feels like a small lip but looks the same. How did you find the right orientation on the new seals ?
