Hello, I'm having difficulty removing the seized pistons from the calipers so was thinking it might just be easier to get some whole calipers. My bike is a XS250 IU5 but I think xs400 calipers are the same? I'm in the UK so if someone could let me know what they have, that would be fantastic.

Thanks, Ollie.

How were you trying to get the piston out? Mine was a bitch but came out with some some will power :) I just hung mine off into a bucket and hooked up a master cyclinder to it and pumped away till it started moving out just make sure you have a good brake hose that isn't blocked. I think near the end I had to use a big set of pliers to wrench it out a bit more, twisting it from side to side to loosen it up. Mine were very very rusty too, so it was more on the extreme side as far as seized pistons go. I reckon you can get yours to pop out :thumbsup:
 
I think it must've been sat outside for years In the rainy UK so the piston is covered in rust. I've tried heating the caliper with a blow torch and it still won't budge. It's all been dismantled by the previous owner so and are missing a few pieces so I'm not sure if they can be built at this stage to try and pump the pistons out...
