Subject: Re: Brake cylinder pistons seized; how to free?
Laurence
I had the same issue with stuck pistons and badly scored cylinders on two wheels and in the end had to replace the whole thing as the aluminium pistons were not salvageable. I found replacement units at PowerTrack Ltd
Tel/fax (01753) 842680 International +0044 1753 842680. Although this will surprise anyone who has done this sort of job, the replacement item was identical and fitted perfectly - a direct swap. What a nice surprise that was. Although I prize my car's originality, there was no choice other than replacement and perhaps on braking components I am more happy to compromise. The refurbishment of the removed cylinders and pistons is still at the bottom of my jobs list after 10 years.
This was done nearly 10 years ago so these contact details may not be helpful.
