OK, I bought an '01 Z1 MCR on eBay, and I'm tearing it down for inspection and maintenance.
I don't get the idea that the prior owner ever changed the oil, and it arrived without brake pivots. I'm aware that those retain the sliders, so I ordered up some 532979QF button-head bolts.
The non-lockout side slider is loose enough so I can conveniently remove it - the top end has a knife edge that I figure mates with some sort of seal up in the arch; the lockout side slider's pretty firmly in place.
Is there a seal, and should I replace it? Anything else to look out for?
