Caliper question

Guy:Incognito

Hows peoples caliper knowledge?:)

Is the caliper a sealed unit or can the rubber gaitor over the piston be replaced if it's torn?

I'v a small tear in the rear of the missus car when it was snagged whiel changing pads.

yep the boot can be changed, they do it all the time when reconditioning the seals in them.

You might have to buy the seals & boot, but still wouldn't cost that much. There's usually a metal clip/spring holding the boot on.
