Brembo brake caliper rebuild questions - pistons hard to push back in
I've got everything apart, put new rubber seals in with brake caliper lube and am attempting to push the individual pistons back in. Everything I've read says you should not force them, and that you should push them in by hand. I was able to push one piston down all the way, but the other three I can only push about half way down.
Is this normal? My thought was to try again using brake fluid as a lube instead of the permatex lube that came with the rebuild kit, as well as the fact that since I got them half way in by hand they should be aligned and using a caliper spreader to push them all the way down should not be a problem. But I'm not sure. Thoughts?
