Ok so removed all pistons and seals from rears and the dust seals all broken, but the other seal is perfect...

Front is opposite, dust seals perfect but looking at pic below would you say the other seal is on the way out?


Question: how do you get the middle piston out? I see the left and right ones moving but the middle one is not coming out like the others... any suggestions?

Re-Install the other two pistons and then block them off with something (pieces of wood..?) then blast in some air and the stuck one will get all the pressure and come out. You may need a c-clamp or something to hold in the middle piston on the other side.

any updates OP? How much were your seals and where did you get them from? I think I am going through the same thing. I bought some used ap racing (exact ones like yours) and for the life of me, my pedal won't get hard and I already bled through three motul rb600 bottles

Once I get to clean fresh fluid I clean my catch container and recycle fluid on an initial bleed. Much cheaper and allows you to do it with one bottle. Pressure bleeder is really needed. Can be done without, but takes a long time.

Gotcha I have a Vacula(mighty vac, same thing I guess), but my compressor is too small so I am looking into the pressure bleeder(Like the one Jason had). Also terrasmak, any specific vendor you recommend for replacement parts? Seems like stoptech and rotora have way more third party support than Ap
