Did you take them off to paint or leave them on? What did you use? Mine are in desperate need of painting.

I did check the caliper and lines for leaks there isn't any leaks, I think corrosion had just set into that 1 caliper. The caliper carrier on that corner was in good condition and the other the other 3 calipers were fine. I'm going to replace that caliper in the new year.

Might also be the piston seals, worth taking the disc and pads off to inspect it. Don't want that hard work ruined! :happy2:

I didn't take them off, I used savage brake caliper paint kit.

I had the pads and disks replaced 3 weeks ago and they never mentioned any leaks. I'll keep an eye out for any leaks.
