Well spent a very wet afternoon stripping the parts down and sorting the caliper out . Pistons on the O/S caliper did not want to come out . Managed to get one out using compressed air the other using a modified 2 leg puller. Cleaned the pistons and bores and all looks good.
Will be painting later this evening .
