If the piston is badly pitted it MUST be replaced. BMW does not supply everything in the rebuilding kit you may want, and other companies WILL supply such. SOME calipers can NOT be properly rebuilt without the halves being separated primarily because the pistons can NOT otherwise be removed. Assuming you ARE going to separate the halves For BREMBO some of this is applicable to ATE  Slightly loosen the caliper halves joining bolts. Use compressed air to CAREFULLY unseat the pistons toward one another before separating the caliper. I place a thin piece of metal or wood between the pistons, to keep them from flying out or coming out much at all. Then remove that piece and use a bit of air to finish removing the pistons, while covering the piston with a rag. Problems with resealing the halves after reassembly may happen because the originally assembled caliper bolts were tightened so much that the aluminum caliper halves distorted slightly. The area around the holes for the bolts holding the calipers together will warp slightly, you cannot see it, but it happens, and the re assembled caliper would weep fluid if you did not do what is necessary first. Separated halves ALSO might never join up again in exactly the same position high and low spots dont match exactly, and thus leakage can occur that way too. The fix is to resurface the halves on a surface plate with some 1. Wet or Dry paper, using wetted paper, water is OK. You can start with slightly coarser paper. It is quite important that you keep the halfs absolutely square and even as the slightest irregularity can cause sealing problems. Best to use only brake fluid for final cleaning of the halves before reassembly, then wiping down with a lint free cloth.

AVOID solvents other than brake cleaners. I usually use a kitchen dish washing detergent with water, then rinse, and a final cleaning with spray brake cleaner OR brake fluid. The rebuild kit MAY contain an envelope of brake assembly grease. This is for the piston seal caliper bores. Use sparingly.   I use brake fluid as the lubricant. Its efficient to enginebrake because once the throttle is no longer pressed, the car is using less fuel. Although it seems negligible, over long trips, the amount.

If you have problems, try the silicon brake assembly grease. Sometimes the pistons are devils to install. Be extra careful that the caliper groove is totally cleaned that the piston is smooth at the edges and the O. D. is polished, all this before beginning. Some auto parts stores carry the brake assembly grease if it did not come with your brake repair kit. Lubricate the new square ring on the piston on all sides before assembly. Threads should be clean then lightly lubricated with brake fluid. Torque the bolts EVENLY on the caliper to 2. Brembo.   Once all is assembled caliper installed system bled, finish the job by washing off hydraulic fluid drips from the caliper with plain water. The caliper should NOT LEAK IN THE SLIGHTEST in use. Some Brembo caliper rebuilding kits do not come with the small inside O ring. You need a 6 x 1. O ring made of EPDM rubber.

This type of recommendation works with most master cylinder sizes. Watch out for excessive lever movement. I am NOT responsible if you have a problem. This reduction in size MAY work if you are ADDING a caliper but less likely if increasing caliper piston area very considerably. Rebuilding master cylinders  Sometimes it is not cost effective. You can also rebuild them yourself, and you might want to check with Euro. Tech for parts.   Below are some other sources. Ted Porter at www.

Next one, much more extensive, was on my hotrod 4. Ford, where I converted from drums to discs, at the front. A lot of work.   Since that time, I have done a LOT of brake modifications work,. CONTROLLABLE.    By CONTROLLABLE I mean that the brake lever did NOT become  touchy, it felt good in modulating the hand or foot pressure. You SHOULD NOT want a brake that is touchy, as that would mean it is too hard to modulate especially if the road is slippery. THE criteria for braking lever feel is NOT just a hard lever. A too hard lever wooden feeling can be very difficult for many riders to modulate the braking pressure under some conditions. On a motorcycle, there is the usual master cylinder bore size change that can be done, often by just selecting the correct year and model, quite often there is no need for going to special mountings for other MC, etc. There are also plenty of aftermarket MClever assemblies, many are adjustable for lever distance, a NICE feature, particularly for smaller hands. A factor on a bike is the pivot point leverage. That USUALLY is not changeable unless the entire assembly is changed to some other bikes or aftermarket equipment. That pivot point leverage controls a lot of the FEEL, besides stopping power for given hand pressure and, also has a goodly effect on lever movement. Some racing bikes even road bikes levers can be set to control how far the lever moves before the brakes bite at all, most often they simply adjust the RESTING position of the lever, not exactly the same thing, but often OK. For BMW Airhead motorcycles, I suggest you dont bother trying to change the pivot point. Because of pivot effect, as much as 2 mm of front MC size change can mean NOTHING between assemblies. SAME MC bore size. BMW standardized for leverage position. IS a noticeable difference between the ATE under tank MC and the on bars MC, so be very cautious about changing to larger piston sizes. I have already warned you about trying original MC piston sizes first, when adding discs, etc. Same or less size even, is to be considered when just changing a MC due to the old one being beyond repair.
