Greasing The Caliper Pins

It says you push the pins out being careful not to damage the O rings and dust covers. What are the chances those would push out without tearing up the old O rings and rubber covers?
Smarter just to leave them alone since the caliper does move?

Funny..... when I push it in the garage I have to walk it some to get it in front of my car. It's easier to push now, I suspect the caliper was holding a little pressure on the stationary pad. Now it rolls free like it has round wheels and ball bearings on the axles.....:laugh:Good now the caliper can Float like it was designed.

Yeah, I have one that's been sitting for almost two years. It's definitely like pushing a dogsled. Looks like the front calipers are coming off for a cleanup.Motor Head wrote:

I'll clean it up and put the grease in the bottom, then some around at the end and work the greas into it.... I had one that was stuck so bad that it wouldn't float.
Just got an 82 KZ 1100, working to fix it up as my first bike.
