Title: Caliperitis (xj brake caliper piston seized)
Post by: shirleythesquid on April 20, 2014, 07:03:44 PM

Just wanting to know if any one has experience of replacing just the piston with the piston kit or would you recommend replacing the whole caliper?

when you remove the from the axle you can poke out the old caliper piston form fluid inlet
30 mins a side
the kit is about £15 per side
