Calipers

Bought some rear calipers ready to stick on tomorrow, however there seems to be a slight bit of fluid on each. Is this normal? Prob silly question, but hey!

probably just something to stop them rusting whilst in storeage I'd guess?

There should always be a bit of fluid inside, as when they are put together, fluid is used as a lubricant for the piston... you can't use anything else

Well I showed em to the guy and apparently they're as rusty as the ones I've got on however mine are leaking etc but these are leaking a little fluid from somewhere etc they might work but we'll see tomorrow. So I'm kinda hoping they're going to work but then again I'm really worried that they're not. Oh dear, caliper god, if there is one, oh please oh please let them work with a cherry on top etc

However if they dont work then they have got 2 months guarentee so they will go back whether they like it or not and I'll get some new ones.
