took out the calipers last night to see what needed done to them , they where in perfect working order when i tookthe 912 of the road , checked and the pistons move freeley , so i started by making sure the bleed nipples moved and brake opened , which they did so it s a clean up to do , and painted the pedal assembley owen nw
