Hi all,
My shiny new 78 XS400 had a slight problem with the front brake binding. I've taken the caliper off & will soon set about removing the piston, which is now stuck.
To try to be ready, I'd like to order replacement seals, but I'm a bit confused as to what's needed. Wemoto show only 1 kit for my year, which contains only a piston seal and a piston dust seal (their description).
MikesXS show a kit that has a spring clip as well.
Under the SR500, Wemoto show a full rebuild kit.
So, am I likely to need the spring clip? Is the SR500 caliper the same?
I'm in the UK, so I'll probably order from Wemoto once I figure out what I need. As it's a struggle to get garage time, it would be good to be prepared when I free the piston, but if I need to do that first and inspect what I have then so be it.
