Brakes overhaul

[smashbeat]

I've been working on the engine of this new to me alpine and now I'm getting ready for the first drive. The front left wheel is hard to spin.
I was thinking about replacing the calipers pistons, new flexible lines front and rear, new pads and oil flush.
While I'm there, there is something else I should take care of?

Thanks

What condition is your Brake Master and Brake Slave in? When I had mine recently rebuilt, I had to replace the Master, Slave and both my rear wheel cylinders were shot too. Also make sure if you're using a booster that it's in working order. I don't know the condition of your system but I'm paranoid about being able to stop when I need to, so I take extra time and care into it. If I sound abit crazy, that's why. Safety is the biggest thing.

I have no idea about the condition of the brake master. I was considering getting a new one just in case. I have 2 new rear cylinders that came with a bucket of spares so I may just replace those.
What do you refer to as for the slave?

Check your wheel bearings. Inspect and replace if necessary. Repack the bearings and set the end float!
