Sticky caliper on 4 pots, new seal kit or piston?
Had my front 4 pot caliper off today to try and solve a binding issue. 3 out of the 4 pistons are moving freely and 1 is sticky but it did move back in with the use of a clamp.
Is it worth fitting a new seal kit? I'm hoping to save the caliper and hoped that would work.

I've done quite a few sets of 4 pots and the seals usually clean up perfect. I've never had to change them, they always look spot on with a wipe over.
Regarding the Pistons, you may get away without new ones. I did a set the other day and out of 8, only one was actually pitted and I replaced it. It was however totally seized in the calliper and I'm more than used to stripping them but this one was really in there.

Thanks for posting Ian Is there a code for ordering them for that price? They still show as £119 on your site (assuming I'm looking at the correct kit).
Thanks

I actually have a new set of your discs sitting here that I bought in a group buy last year. I'd probably just drill them if you could give me the measurements, or shift them on to someone else who doesn't need inserts. How much for delivery to Belfast for both options?

Bleed nipple size
Can anyone confirm my suspicion on bleed nipple size? I am refurbishing my 2001 wrx calipers next week (the non-brembo 4pots) but there's 2 sizes. M7x1 and M10x1. I am fairly sure it's the M7 items but I would appreciate a confirmation.
Cheers.
Cheers.
