So doing a bit of stripping and cleaning on the VFR. Big struggle to remove the brake calipers, both front and back, as pistons had siezed up. Got them out and stripped out the pistons with my jury-rigged master cylinder. Whilst stripping I dump everything in the handy bowl of diesel for cleaning and end up forgetting to remove one set of piston rubbers. These have now swelled up to twice their original size. How do I get them to shrink back to normal for reinstallation? Can't get spares and can't wait till next year.
Cheers
