"O" rings

[thebigone]

Hi folks,
I will be doing a full rebuild of front and rear brakes along with the SMC, I was wondering if I should be letting the "O" rings sit in brake fluid or just put them all in dry.

check the service manual
iirc it specifies silicone grease on the piston and dust seals.
if you didn't have it brake fluid should be ok.
(grease oil etc would not be)

they wouldn't need to sit in it but should be wetted when installed.
