got a problem with the front brakes stickin on in ma saph a got a set of seals for them from ford how hard are they to chance and will this stop them form grabbin on after they hav been pressed?
More likely to be sticky/damaged/pitted pistons I'd of thought. After all, if the seals are perished/damaged they'll of let sh#t into the pistons. I've just had mine rebuilt by Bigg Red. They offer 3 different finishes and 4 colours. Only worked out at £50 labour on top of the parts costs. Here's a few pics of mine


Have to say I was impressed with them. Mine are done to their top option of finish with a polymer coating to resist dirt/dust/oil/brake fluid. Check out their website it's all on there.

£169 for this finish. Plus £10 return postage and had to pay for my own postage to them. I also bought a new set of pad pins and pad retainers for £20 from them. I added it up and it would cost £120 just in bits so, for £50 more, it was a bit of a no brainer. They pressure tested them up to 600psi, new nipples, pistons, seals and coated/painted.
Check out their website as it's all on there. Friendly too when I called up. Base finish is £129 I think and £149 for the mid finish, then these.

I'm not sure if big red do it, but you can also use alloy pistons in them like I did with a set years ago, must admit it is on a car that is stood up for months at a time and not a stick in sight, 10 years on.
Big red do a ace job though, I've resealed lots over the years, a lot of the time it has been a waste of time without new pistons, I'm sure they mishape slightly with the years.
