[Diamond Black Geezer]

So this is the big weekend, and I'm hoping to have lots of pictures posted to this forum of the suspension replacement/overhaul. Part of this will be the refurbishing of the calipers. In the past I've found that checking the piston pushes in and out again with relatively ease is plenty, without resorting to pushing the piston out completely, and replacing all the seals and boots etc.

As far as I can tell the rubber gaiter just pulls off without a metal retaining clip like some brakes? I'll probably get this off purely for masking off/painting purposes. These are the earlier Lucas brakes as on a PFL, by the way. Should I be looking at 'preventative maintenance', and get new rubber? I've never come across anyone needing them if I'm honest, that's all. I don't want to do half a job, but nor to I want to spend money needlessly.

Appreciate all feedback
