I've given the pins a good sand to get any rust off them, they weren't bad at all to get out, I can see them being a nightmare to get back in though lol.
As for the seat sport logo, just couldn't get it to look right black so I've ordered some ap racing stickers to hide them
might be worth just getting some wet and dry and a block and rubbing over the logo and having them bare unless you have already done that,are you going to use better brake fluid whilst the brakes are being bled?
Sorry mate never saw that post earlier! Tried sanding it back with a dremel but it looked horrible because of the old layers of paint. I would have stripped and sanded it right back but I simply don't have the time now
As for the fluid I'm replacing it with ATE super blue racing dot 4
10 and a half hours later...fronts are on and jamming
Rears are a totally different story though
Both rear calipers were seized, put a 400nm impact gun on them and the pistons still wouldn't wind back also the carriers were burnt through to the stage the consortina bolt was flat on one edge :| nightmare!
Won't say who I bought them off unless I don't get a reply or some sort of apology. But long story short I now have to fork out to either buy new callipers and carriers or have those reconditioned
Also massive thanks to onelitrewonder and vroomtshh for all the help today
