Changing torx bolt on calipers

839 Views 17 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  PaulSP-Y
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the torx bolts on the front calipers whilst they are still on the bike and full of brake fluid?
Reason being mine are rusty as hell so i have ordered new ones but hope the old ones can be replaced with the new ones whilst the calipers still have fluid in them.

thanks in advance

Thanks very much, both of you👍
Hiya PaulSP-Y I used Fowlers parts to order them who had them in stock.
Takes years off the bike getting rid of the old rusty ones

Well as Wibbly, VFR750F3 and Chance have said this is possible to do one bolt at a time with no leakage at all.👍
