In the process of changing my front discs/rotors and pads and noticed that one of the caliper's pistons seal is cracked (the seal the is around the actual piston, just one not the other) are there any kits or replacement seals for this part, is it complicated to change? What suggestions do you have for this, the cheaper the better if possible...otherwise everything else is ok...just the seal around 1 of the pistons...and the screw that holds the disc/rotor in place is stripped...I guess drilling it out is the best option?

Thanks, all input is appreciated

 

Yes you can purchase a caliper rebuild kit. The directions in the service manualforrebuilding the calipers is very straight forward. I am at work until Wednesday, but could send along text of the instructions then. Have you tried an impact driver on the screw that secures the rotor to the hub?

What year is the rover?

 

Thanks, it is a Disco 2000. This kit, where is it avaiable? I am in Canada...
So what is the actual procedure

 

On line thru Atlantic British,or thru Rover Connection. com would be 2 of the more common places to order thru.

The kit you need has a part number of STC1919 (Front brake caliper rebuild kit) as sells for about $25.00
