Hello, first time posting here. Haven't been able to find on the forum but was wondering if anyone knew where to get replacement seals for the rear caliper on 08 fat bob. HD wants $75. Seen some online but reviews say some didn't fit. Also are the seals directional? Seals that were in there look brand new after I cleaned them. Can I get away with reusing them? any info will be appreciated. Thank you!

 

why are your replacing them have you remvoed them and found any tears or stretch?

 

noticed rotor was excessively hot after short drive (like 1 min). pulled caliper and actuated rear brake and noticed only one piston coming out. crud was on top seal of reservoir and also on the 2 seals in the one piston that I removed. other than that no rust or damage to piston or inside of caliper. looks brand new so hopefully just build up and new fluid.

 

clean them with some denatured alch and then re install them if you have not stretching and/or tears... on the caliper brake clean it so that the bores are spotless

 

theyre clean. not stretched or torn. look brand new. does it matter which way they go in? out of the 2 seals for each piston one has a bevel. should the higher bevel go toward the back or pads.
