Hi thanks for the help. I split the caliper to clean it all out, the seal kit comes with a new O ring to seal the two halves back together. I also used a small piece of wood and a G clamp to push the new pistons back in (flat face inwards) So I was a bit annoyed with myself when I couldn't get them to fit. I made sure I drove them in square too. The recess for the O rings is cleaned out perfectly, my ultrasonic cleaner fetched the caliper up like new.
On the plus side I found just the seal kit online for £7.50 so I thought I'd order two sets just in case... arrived today and each set contains ten seals, So I've got plenty of room for mistakes this time.
