Inside the Monobloc - (liability disclaimer)

So, you want to know how to take them apart? Firstly you'll need a specialist tool to fit the centre of the spots.

make your own or purchase?

 

 

Make sure you've got the right tools and new seals in able to reassemble. (Click the image to see the link).

Seals are the same as the ones fitted to the XJR1300 and are shown on the Official Yamaha parts list.

Make sure the caliper is well secured as theres a fair amount of force required to brake the seal. This was an old item kindly donated by a forum member especially for the purpose of this project.  

 

Firstly remove the piston from the rear of the spot recess. In this instance I used compressed air to blow it out. (Gently does it, don't wish to damage the seals or inflict injury)!  
  The spot turns inward to remove...like screwing in a bolt!  
  There you go...access to the other piston too.  

 

Make sure the seals are replaced prior to reassembly and that ALL surfaces are immaculately clean; afterall, its your life on the line if this goes pear shaped. (And don't blame me for your messing!).
