sappers Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Hi, just been out in Galaxy 2.8V6 2002 model and have noticed front brake drivers side is rubbing on disc. I have removed the wheel and caliper and it turns out that the dust seal has split at some time and there is a bit of rust on the piston. I have cleaned up the piston and all is fine there but I can't find a supplier for a new dust seal which seems to be 'superglued' to the caliper. I have spoken to the parts dept. at dealers and he is not sure if the dust seal comes withe the piston seal or not. Does anybody out there know what comes in the repair kit, or the part number of the kit or even another supplier for the kit? Thanks for reading. p.s I have put it all back together for now with a smear of grease round the bit of piston which is showing, but dont expect it to last. Quote
sappers Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Posted January 19, 2011 I have heard back from dealer this afternoon, and the repair kit is no longer available. A new caliper is Quote

Jayton Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 I assume when purchasing calipers from them you don't need to purchase the piston or seal kit as it should be a complete unit? Quote
