2001 4.0L. Has had a very occasional hard brake pedal. I initially replaced the accumulator, then tried a used abs pump but the problem would still reappear. Took it off the road this spring to get a long list of small jobs done. Rear brake lines had been replaced at some point, but as they looked rather clumsily done ( very polite ). I thought I would re-do them. Very glad I did, as some of the flares were dodgy. Top tip - it’s a lot easier to fabricate and fit new rear brake lines with the abs module and steering linkage removed. With the abs module out, I thought i would check it over and see if I could find anything wrong with it. Disassembly not too hard ( lots of photos taken, and measurements made ). I found one of the piston seals damaged so I replaced all of them, cleaned out the internal filter and also cleaned out the brake fluid reservoir. Re-assembly was fairly easy. Brakes were bled according to rave and then tested. I have driven about 100 miles so far with no hard brake pedal! Then again the p38 may be messing with my mind and it may suddenly appear again ( I hope not ).

Where did you get the replacement seal kit from?

Probably the same guy who did the replacement valve parts.
Yes that’s the guy! His website is rangeroversolutions.com
The seals ( perhaps I should have used the words O rings? ) are to seal various parts of the abs piston.
