Hi all. Gonna be removing my Front Calipers 2moro for Painting! It Says in the "Haynes Bible (9.10)" that i will have to replace the brake hose sealing washers? Is that Right as im not replacing the Calipers with new ones, putting the old ones back on?
Or what is the best way of getting them off for painting (Hammerite Spray) and putting them back on without new parts?

Many Thanks, James
