[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1462796, member: 19880"] I do the same - the wood allows you to extend the pistons further than usual to clean the sides so you don't end out pushing dirt back into the seals when you push the pads back to reinstall the calipers on the bike. I have certainly noticed a ring of dirt on the pistons (clean below the point where the seals make contact). I have also noticed some mild corrosion on the sides above the seals. Report back on your seal-changing experience. Maybe mine will get done too - looks messy but not too difficult as long as you don't have problems getting all of the air out. (I would probably change the master cylinder seals while I was at it.) Definitely wouldn't do hoses! Are you doing the rear brake as well? [/QUOTE]
