Seized/rusted inner caliper pistons

Aside from buying a new one does anybody have any tips?

Keep hitting it with wd and let sit overnight?

 

Had the same , had to replace caliper. on mine it looked like the boots where torn.
Rebuilt caliper was about $150 CDN and since i was doing the rotors and pads anyway (how i discovered the seized piston) its not a big job since its just two bolts and the brake line to disconnect.

 

Has that been sitting under water?

 

FIFY,

 

WD40 isn’t gonna do anything for that. Not even sure PB blaster would help. Replace them.

 

Once their seized there’s only 2 options.


Rebuild, or replace.

 

Figured that would be the consensus. Picking one up from auto zone tomorrow $70 + core.

thanks

 

Napa remans have been good to me. And they’re painted. The autozone ones will be brown in a week

 

wtf is wrong with tacoma calipers, my left and right front calipers have seized literally every year for the past 6+ years, just replaced the left caliper for the 6th time last week

 

Same here man. My calipers don’t last much more than 2-3 years.

 

I use to burn through calipers. The remans from the stores kept failing. So I finally rebuilt my own. All 8 pistons were expensive with the seals. But so far 5 years on the 02 with no issues

 

Come on you can get the full powerstop kit, pads, rotors, calipers for like $450. Just replace it all.

 

Yup, I regretted buying Advance auto calipers when I had my Tacoma. Rusted in no time and started sticking within a year.

 

Well if you have the $$ 6 piston (stainless calipers conversion)

If just changing one caliper do I need to bleed all 4 corners or just the one caliper?

thx

 

if you dont let the master run dry, just the one caliper needs to be bled

 

Cool just wanted to be sure

thx

 

Don't worry about WD....you need a priest !

 

Wow look at that rust

 

just the one
