Splitting Calipers Advice

Bitza · 11-05-2020, 07:01 PM

Hi all, just wanted to pick the brains of people who have experience of splitting calipers. My gut feeling is that getting the pinch bolts undone could well turn out to be a bit of a nightmare, true or am I just paranoid. Do Brembo use locktite on the pinch bolts, hence the need for a bit of heat? and what torque settings are recommended when replacing these bolts? Also has anyone got any positive things to report on the Tiawan supplied titanium caliper pistons as advertised on ebay (this is mainly out of curiosity only). Thanks Bitza.
