Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi guys i just put a new caliper kit in my hilux about 6 months ago and when i did it i had rust inside the housing where the piston go i clean it out and got all the rust i could out and now it is pulling to the right again dose this mean that i have to get a new housing or is there some other way to fix it. if i have to get new housing how much are they thanks gavin

No mechanical tech I'm afraid.....................

But it's guys not gyes ;)

You need a can of brake clean and then a can of white lithium grease.

i did clean it out with the brake clean and the rust is about 1mm into the housing so i think that it is just going to get worst and how long would the grease last

It is long lasting and has a rust and oxidation inhibitor. It is made for all of the moving parts on or in calipers. It has a good heat and water rating and or resistance.
Somthing that should have been done when the calipers were new. A can would last a long time. It helps to free up the brakes aswell.

i surpose i should done the calipers seals again and put the grease in would you put that grease in every piston hole or just the one with the rust in it

The whole lot exept the pads and disc,s.
Cheers.

thanks ludacris for all your help and janelle and i will let you no if i can get some or not

Some times you can use steelwool lub'ed with brakefluid CAREFULLY to remove light rust from caliper bores. Only useb a circular rubbing motion and press lightly. Use brake grease on seals on re-assembly.

Clean out the rust with fine emery cloth and ensure the piston moves freely with no seal also ensure the piston is purfect were the seal runs if the chrome is sus fit new pistons and you should have no probs.
