Boom! It's out. Now just rebuilding the calliper.
Im using the repair kit and what is the purple paste for? Is it to go on the outside of the piston to hwlp it slide in? Would that not affect the brake fluid?

James Aker video says he uses it but never shows it going on

The grease is for when you slide the piston in. It won't affect the brake fluid. Make sure you remove that crud from around the hole.

Ah spot on, I said I would double check before I do anything

Well it's in now anyway and I have cleaned up and painted the calliper. I will fit it back on tomorrow or Friday and then hopefully get the brake fluid back in at the weekend.

Well done getting the bleed nipples out

Always abit nerve-wracking I think!

It was just one of them so far so i wont go celebrating yet  , but thanks

Any job on these vans that does not cause you to lose a night's sleep is a good cause for celebration.

Or am I being cynical.?
