MGB Front Brake Calliper Rebuild: Replacement of Seals and Pistons on Disc Brakes
A bit of an impromptu video this week; whilst I was carrying out the brake service on my MGB I found that one of the brake calliper pistons was sticking and causing uneven wear on the pads. Investigating further it seemed as though the piston has caught the outer rubber seal and dislodged it. Luckily, I had a seal kit on hand and was able to rebuild the calliper.
When shooting the video it was hard to show what I was doing when removing and re-fitting the seals, don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions.
PLEASE NOTE: I would only recommend rebuilding the callipers if they are in good condition with no rust or heavy scoring on the bores. By the time you’ve bought a seal kit and replacement pistons you are around halfway towards the cost of a brand-new calliper. Always take extra special care when working on your vehicles barking system, if you are at all unsure please get expert advice.
Big thanks to my sponsors for 2021 for all the lubricants and brake fluids etc
