Default rebuilding 4pots

Are the standard 4pot fronts and 2pot rear calipers easy to rebuild? I fancy having a go myself.

Is there any how to or manual any were?

Hi
They are fairly straight forward to do , the main thing is to make sure everything is clean and rust free , the bores of the calipers are usually rusty on the top lip , clean them with fine emery cloth to clean the rust from the bores ,

I can supply you stainless steel pistons with a lifetime guarantee and seals to do them yourself , and can also run through it fully over the phone so you can do it properly.

Or as Ian above says , I can also supply you fully reconditioned calipers on an exchange basis
Cheers Ian

Thanks guys, At the moment i only have the 2pot rears and i am looking for 4pot fronts, however i will be re-building them once i get them.

I take it the rear 2 pots are pretty much the same to re-build?
