AP Refurb

[Sailorbaz]

Friends of mine is looking to get his APs refurbed after his valet man has ruined them using unfriendly wheel cleaners.

Anyone any good recommendations?
Cheers in advance,
Barry

Cheers Neil but I think he's after a more comprehensive refurbishment with seal change and complete strip and re-paint.

Godspeed do the full refurb bit. Ap can do a service but they don't paint.

Hey,
if youre on instagram check out @paul46rider his work looks brilliant, he will do seals also,and his prices are pretty reasonable.

otherwise i can upload some pics if you like? and can get his contact details

Get them posted on here it always good to see someone's work and finish

Buy seal kit from questmead and replace seals by yourself....

if I can do it anyone can - even Smac


tools needed

footpump
block of wood (to chock the pistons as you pump)
blunt flat bladed screwdriver, to pry out seal

plus gas/dismantling fluid
maybe a source of heat to loosen bleed nipple
8 or 10mm socket for nipple
brake fluid
brake cleaner


I then got a mate to paint mine gloss black, i think it cost me a few bacon butties and some beer

They look fantastic, what sort of price does he charge? Are they sprayed or powder coated?

This is how mine are being done:

The top pic are mine, done by Paul, great job as you can see how bad it was.

£150 for all 4 painted, £170 + cost of seals if you want them changed. Think Questmead said £30 for front seals per caliper & £25 for rears.

Really happy with my brakes now

Hmmm, quite a reasonable price. Has to be red for me.
