Not sure

why you want to, or if it can be done! But in my experience youre for ever stripping and cleaning the 6 pots. They dont seem to have the same feel or power as the fours. Crud gets in between the seals and siezes stopping the piston from pushing onto the pad, so you effectivley end up braking on three or four of the pistons, which doesnt tend to happen so much or as bad as fours! (dont know why!) If it's better braking youre after, try stripping the calipers clean/replace seals if need be , put on some braided hoses and whack in some EBC HH pads!

Brakes

Well said! Just stuck some HEL carbon lines on the front of my Zed - the difference is unbelievable!!! No sponginess or slack - instant, feel-ridden braking. Definitely money well spent!
