Thanks for all the advice.
As the weather was atrocious I did the work at the weekend. Front callipers all cleaned up, though they were in very good nick anyway, new fluid flushed through. Only thing I would say is the R clips seemed to be a bit of a sloppy fit, I was expecting more of a click as they went home. It's not like they wear out, anyway, all are fully home
Rear calliper was the same, lot dirtier due to its position. The calliper pin needed more force than I would expect to drive out, seems to be because it has a sort of barrel shaped collar at the end which locates in the calliper. I've never seen one like before. Also, previous owner had started to round off one of the mounting bolts. I was able to torque it up, but will probably replace later. Mind you, the back brake on this bike is the worst I have ever known, good job the front is excellent.
