Is is ok to have all my calipers etc, shot blasted as they have come off the car and then just replace all the rubber seals?

s'what I did Pat - all was fine... I did them myself so was careful when nearing the rubbers.

Push the pistons in as far as poss and plug the inlet.

IMHO

Pistons all the way in - all holes full (ooo err missus) and new seals ready to be fitted.
Will let rip now...
Cheers...
Not me doing it though...

You need to aim the shotgun carefully so as not to damage the pistons and / or the seals

I won't be holding the gun, but I'm sure the guys know what they are doing.

You guys dont do anything by halves, do you!

What sort of cartridges do you use?

Mark,

Ireckon they should use the ones with the big ball bearing / small cannon ball wedged in the end.
