    No 10 here John, 25-30 afaik from the dealers. Done one of mine about a year ago and it's still fine but all depends on the condition of the piston (don't get a new one in the kit). If the piston is badly rusted then just get a complete new caliper!

    Yeah its the piston that is quite pitted, the seals and dust boot are fine.
    Funny, it's started behaving itself again. I didn't get a chance to strip it yesterday due to social engagements.

    Piston is shagged:



    Gonna get a good used replacement caliper, this one is not an economical repair.

    Temporarily cleaned it up to buy me some time.

    You realise refurbished OEM calipers can be bought for around £80 sterling.

    They're like brand new.

    Enquire in your motor factors or GSF/Otto or the likes.

    Yep I'll be getting a good used or refurbished replacement. This one is too far gone.
