335i caliper rebuild

Kizzu · 01-28-2015, 06:48 AM

so, I'm doing a front caliper conversion for my 1 and started disassembling the calipers so I can get them blasted and powder coated. Now I was removing all the rubber insert bushes and removed the pistons too and I'm stuck up on the piston rubber insert (not the thin seal inside the piston housing). I am assuming that these get off but I didn't manage to find a way yet. anyone knows how to remove them please?

I took a flat head and helped it off

If you are talking about the dust boot, then a shot of compressed air at the outside lip should do it.

Thanks guys. Will a brand new one fit properly without any issues if I remove it?
