Does anyone have experience of stripping and rebuilding brake
callipers? I have a recurring problem with the n/s front brake on my
1994 LC2 3 litre TD. This winter, as last, the lower pistons (they're
4 pot) have seized on with consequent pulling to the left and braking
to the right, and a very hot n/s hub. The first time it happened I
eased the piston in and out (with great difficulty, initially) using a
lever to push it in and then pumping it out with the pedal. Having
freed it off I put in new pads and all was well until the wet and the
mud and the cold returned. Now it's sticking again. Any views on
this? Do Toyota do an overhaul kit? I've never split a calliper.
Has anyone out there? Any help greatly appreciated.
