|
|
Just got round to fitting a [i]second new calliper seal to cure a slow leak.
I had fitted new front pistons and seals very carefully when rebuilding my 3.0.
Only to find that m/cyl. fluid level was going down very slowly thanks to a slight leak on NSF.
Second set of new seals seems to have cured it [no visible marks on first set - odd?].[/i] _________________ 02 3.0 Trooper

PS I always use silicone grease rather than "red rubber grease" as the latter dries to dust. I do not trust it.
Silicone grease is [theoretically] inert and will not touch rubber etc.
[Silicone grease came from a British Nuclear Power Station. Divers also use it but beware - it can be expensive that way ] _________________ 02 3.0 Trooper
