bigred is 5 mins down the road from me i used them for my seals
when you say refurb, what is in need of refurbing? the seals etc? or the actual metal on the calipers them selves

ahh, its easy honestly, to get the pistons out get an air foot pump with the end in the brake hose hole, that will pop the pistons out, the seal inside the piston bore will just pull out, just a case of sliding a new one in job done
there is a rubber dust cap also but that just prises out from the entrance of the piston bore

i swear to god at least try and get the pistons out using the method i said, once they are out you will see how easy it all is, if you are still unsure then just put the pistons back in and post back

yep that will work just watch your fingers put a block of wood or rag in front of the piston

it is really easy, its just a metal piston in a hole with a simple circular seal.
be careful when getting piston out, it can shoot out and get damaged, i put some wood between it and the caliper to stop it popping all the way out
