EDIT: just want to note that I've only just realised that if I spell calliper with only one "l" which is what I did, it is corrected by my spell checker without my realising to 'caliber'. Doh!
Had a look through the brake pad thread but there's a photo missing. Not sure if I should grease the brake caliber pins, the ones behind the rubber boots.
Pressing the callipers they seem to move freely on the pins, so I was thinking of leaving them. I'd freshen the grease if I could work out how to get the boots off but I don't want to force it in case I break the rubber boots.
To grease the pins how do I get the boots off, on the shot with the blue arrow there is a rubber cap boot, then there's a boot what's that about? There isn't one on the other side, it's just solid metal.
On the red arrow, am I supposed to loosen this nut or don't touch it in order to grease the pins.
On the piston shot, there is very light corrosion probably because we rarely ride in the rain, but I'm not sure if it requires a major disassembly to clean this, or if the piston is meant to come right out?
Also when I push the piston back before putting the pads in, how far back should I push it, is it meant to be flush? At the moment I can't push it back any further with my hands, but I'm not even sure if it's meant to be further in anyway. I don't want to put a pad on it and push it in with a G clamp if it's not meant to be in further.
Any advice appreciated.
