Just have to hope that there wasn't too much watter in the brake fluid to cause corrosion and scoring of the cylinders. I am assuming he can get new pistons.
What do you mean by "coated"?
in other words.... " a bit of a clean up!" Don't think popping it out could cause any more damage than is already there. A torn seal is about all I'd expect as a worst case scenario. Unless maybe it tears the seal and then scores the bore.
I don't mind buying Britpart supplied parts although I don't usually buy their cheapest offering. In general we don't have that many problems with their parts. If you expect them to last as long as original parts then of course you will be disappointed.
I don't know what process OEM use, but i know there's various options from clear anodising to much more exotic, 'diamond-like carbon' is a popular one. Aftermarket ones go more exotic still
Is stainless a good option? It's not as hard and therefore more susceptible to scoring and other damage
that's how it works
If the reservoir got empty power bleed is needed too cos there is air in the modulator in the active side of it, did you do that?
The pedal stifness is not so important, the question is: does the vehicle stop well? once a piston is stuck the pedal gets firmer so now as all are working well can be a bit lighter than before, as long as the braking distance is OK no worries
). Not sure on the make (of replacements) but they've been fine, in fact to this day I still impressed at how well it stops (full set of Mintex discs & pads at the same time). Anyway mine come from Lr-trade-parts-uk. Keep us posted,all the best.Pretty simple things really, who would of thought someone could make them wrong?Must admit I've never come across a new 'faulty' caliper. Back in 2021 I refurbed the all the brakes on mine, rears (genuine) only needed new seals but with the fronts it was cheaper to replace the calipers (I intend to overhaul the originals as they're genuine but haven't got round to it yet
I quote myself from an earlyer post which you didnt answer toPress the pedal a couple of times and it will pump up so sounds like air somewhere
I did answer this morning, I didn't ignore your advice. I clamped the pipes off, the master cylinder wasn't drained out.
