Siezed caliper on its slides,

Siezed caliper on its slides, remove and clean, dirt from off roading,so clean again, caliper U/S so check operation.

When fitting new pads, ensure they are free in their slides, many pads are a tight fit, file then gently on the steel backing until they just slide freely.

Is it a gunson easy bleed Kit? Unknw I have one, to fit it for fourtrak size master cylinder cap I had another cap, drilled hole in top to fit the pipe parts like the other caps you get with it, job done.....or drill hole in your cap and use litlle nut n bolt n washer to seal hole when not in use....

Full of ideas but no time to do them!!
