Formula Oro Seal replacement

I've picked up a second hand pair of K24s but it looks like the rear has a slight leak from the caliper. Hoping it just needs new seals and as the kit is cheap it makes sense to give it a go. However never changed the seals on any brakes before so does anyone have the service manual for the Oros they could email me (couldn't find it on the Formula Italy site) and/or explain what the procedure is

Cheers

    does not the exploded view give you enough info?

    The exploded diagram shows me where everything goes but doesn't help with the procedure. eg how do I get the pistons out of the caliper, does anything need to be orientated in particular direction on re-assembly, how tight should the bolts be done up, are any of them likely to strip etc

    Cheers
