RE: [ST] brake caliper

Yeah.  What he said.  I replaced the seals in my RS calipers a year ago.  I almost scared myself into not doing it myself, but I did.  It's really not that bad afterall.  The biggest pain is bleeding the system after it's refilled.

You can get the seal kit, like I did, from http://www.sprintmanufacturing.co.uk/index.htm

Why not just get a rebuild kit for it and fix the one you have? Afterall, a used one may now or soon have the same problem. 

If Triumph doesn't actually sell a complete rebuild kit, you can still get the individual parts. Myself, I'd bet the problem could easily be fixed by going through a good cleaning to get rid of the ring of caked-up brake dust that impedes the sliding of the piston through the rubber seals.

Good luck!
