bendix caliper gaiters

[clancyblob]

Does anyone know if you can (and how) you replace the small gaiters that protect the slides which allow the Bendix calipers to move? There are splits on the gaiters, and I have a spare (but very grotty) caliper that has good gaiters on. They appear to be glued inside the caliper body. The calipers are on a Peugeot 205 (same as on Renault 5 and Citroen AX).

the caliper slides are wat ur meaning once u have the caliper off u see the slides think its a 13mm nut size try n put a spanner over the nut and gently see if it can move back n forth prob seized if so u need to heat the carrier on loosen the slides once the move round u can pull them out but mind they will b hot

Thanks thebhoy. I didn't explain very well. The slides are fine, it's the slide gaiters that are split. The slides come out ok, but the gaiters appear a one-peice rubber item going right through the caliper body.and fixed there. It's these gaiters I want to replace.
