S2000 Rear caliper strip down
Discussion
Doing some work on my S2000 and next on the list is refreshing the brakes (New discs, pads and refurbished calipers. Sourced a full set of spare calipers to strip down and get blasted then powder coated.
On stripping the rear calipers it looks like I might need a specialist tool, in the bottom of the piston chamber is a circlip holding the threaded bit for the piston. I'm thinking a 90 degree long reach circlip remover will do the job but just wanted to check if there was a better or made for the job tool before I go ahead and order.

I'm doing my rear calipers right now and I wasn't going to remove that circlip - is it necessary to change/clean/remove/replace?
The guy doing the strip and powder coating said I would need to so they could get all the grease out otherwise it would effect the coating. (cause fish mouths in the finish when they get baked I think he said)Gassing Station | Suspension, Brakes & Tyres | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
