Regarding using pliers on objects you do not want to mar. I use duct tape to cover the ridges on the pliers and have had no issues, even with plumbing items. Just be careful when you grip.
Thanks.. I had a spare set of COBRA brackets and calipers and I took off the seals and removed the pistons yesterday. I ended up taking the calipers and brackets to the powders coaters. Triple black on calipers and steel grey on the brackets. Will post up pix next week..
great, would love to see!
Picked them up this Tuesday.. Will take pictures tomorrow if possible before work
