Re: Caliper o ring pistons? (J75)
Hi
Did myne this winter. Same installation procedure as with the stock lip seals.
There was a thread where they sayed to leave the piston springs out when installing O-ring pistons.
It was mentioned that the O-rings are anyway too tight and the springs wouldn't do their job.
That's what I did, but I do not have any driving experience yet.
While you at it, also replace the flex lines, preferably with braided hoses.
An other month and my 68 big block goes back on the street.
Good luck Gunther
