Caliper repair kit
« on: 13 December 2013, 16:47 »
I just bought these on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190740833462?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I know how the sleves go in but in which order do the rubber boot and rubber sleves go in any specialist tools required?

I'm guessing here but are the 'plastic' sleeves Teflon and designed to fit on the outside of the rubber?

If they were designed to go inside, there would be no reason to split them.
