Lucas caliper piston seal replacement
#2
yeah i rebuilt the lucas 266's on mine not long back, got pics on my project post,

you got it right though, remove the caliper, pop out the piston - not as easy as it sounds, they are very tight... put the seal with a bit of the grease they come with on the piston quite far down it's body so the seal sits past the base, then get the seal into the groove in the caliper, insert piston with plenty of oomph Smile

depending on if the piston comes out easily enough you may want to run some really fine wet&dry round it to get the old crap off it, remove any rust etc, also make sure you replace both seals in each caliper, the inner ring and the dust seal Smile
