washer caliper

[alexhozee]

Before I'm gonna disassemble the front calipers etc.
I would like to know if there are copper washer or bounded seals in the connection between the brake hose and the caliper.

Does anyone know whats in it??

Copper I can glow to get soft again, bounded seals would be guessing if there ok, probably not after 12 years.

Thankx!
Got enough in my toolbox then

but if you replace your calipers you get new ones too. thats how i know. but if you have spares that works too.

I did an overhaul on the calipers yesterday.
The copper rings used here are the ones I did NOT have spare.

Took flame and heated/glowed them and re-use.

My expy stops quick again!

I've always reused the old ones, I know they don't leak

When I've got new ones I use them, if not glow them and re-use. No problem at all.
