Brake Q

Post by -Nemesis- »

To cut a long story short i've discovered that one piston on the drivers side caliper on my 1994 4Runner has seized completely.

I'm wondering if anyone knows what it's worth and which to do out of:

* Just get the seized piston overhauled
* Overhaul the whole caliper (all 4 pistons)
* Overhaul both calipers
* Replace calipers

I've never had any brake work done before so any heads up so I don't get ripped would be handy.

last time i got a price only yota did a rebuild kit and it was cheaper to pay $200 ea for new calipers from don kyatt as the time getting parts and dicking around was going to cost over $200 ea

that said mine were pretty rooted, if its just new seals it might be cheaper
