Hey Jim.....deglazed with a smooth file before I put them back together first time around but no joy.

'87 Genesis Brake Caliper Strip
Planning to do mine soon, although manual says do not separate caliper halves. Is it possible to get the pistons out easily and clean the seal grooves without separating the caliper?
