Description
Motorcycle Brake Caliper Rebuild Service | Single / Twin Piston – Labour Only (Per Caliper)
Our motorcycle brake caliper rebuild service is designed to return tired, seized or inconsistent brake calipers back to full mechanical health.
This is a send-in service. Customers are responsible for removing and posting their brake caliper(s) to our workshop.
We cover most Nissin, Tokico, Brembo, Sumitomo, Yamaha and Honda branded calipers.
We don’t currently cover AJP, Grimeca, Harley-Davidson, Akebono, Lockheed, Girling and some other less common setups. If you’re unsure, just drop us a message.
Each caliper is rebuilt in our specialist brake workshop by experienced technicians using proven processes and Brakemastersâ„¢ components. This service focuses on restoring safe, reliable braking performance. Cosmetic refinishing can be added as an optional extra.
What the rebuild includes
-
Full disassembly of one single/twin piston brake caliper (Increase quantity for more calipers – See here for 3/4 pot calipers or 6 pot calipers).
-
Solvent cleaning followed by ultrasonic cleaning
-
Corrosion removal from seal grooves
-
Inspection of the caliper body and piston(s)
-
Reassembly using a new Brakemastersâ„¢ seal kit (parts are in addition)
-
Pressure and function testing before return
Once rebuilt, your brake caliper will be mechanically as good as new, giving consistent braking performance and peace of mind.
Parts and inspection
This product covers workshop labour only.
Brakemastersâ„¢ seal kits are charged separately.
If we find any issues with brake pistons such as corrosion or pitting, we will take close-up photos and email them to you so you can decide how you would like to proceed. Stainless steel replacement pistons are available if required.
Optional media strip and recoat
Selecting media strip and recoat upgrades this service to a full refurbishment process. For media strip and recoat options, see our available colour choices here.
This includes stripping the caliper casings, recoating and oven baking before final reassembly and testing. Because of the additional processes involved, choosing this option increases the turnaround time.
Turnaround time
Rebuild only is typically 4 to 5 working days, excluding transit time.
Rebuild with media strip and recoat is typically up to 10 working days, excluding transit time.
Preparation and quantity
Labour price is per caliper.
Select quantity 2 if you are sending a pair of calipers.
Where possible, please remove brake pads before sending your calipers. Pads add unnecessary weight and bulk.
Pins, springs and other small fittings should also be removed where possible. Any additional fittings sent in with the calipers will be returned in the same condition they arrive in. Cleaning and refurbishing small fittings is not included in the labour charge for this service.
If you are unsure what to remove, feel free to get in touch before sending anything in.
