What do you do? Seal and piston out, what do you block the hole up with, would you block off the slider holes?
as above did you cheak on pricing for a new calaper ?
That is often the case but those VW T4 calipers are £95 on Brakeparts.co.uk but you can buy a piston and service kit for £25 but if you don't have a suitable blast cabinet it's a waste of timeThat looks like scrap, looks like rust on the bottom of the piston too! How's that got rusty?
Once you've paid for a new piston, seals, nipples, brake pipe unions etc plus farting around you might as well get a new caliper!
Do you mean how long can I soak it in citric acid, probably a week or two.how meny days you got citric acid?
Yep, I've been soaking it and the hose union in acetone and wd40 all week and they undid easy, the acetone is supposed to creep in the joint and pull the lube in, then evaporate, leaving the lube.. Who knows?did you get the nipple undone ?
Personally I'm on minimum wage spending money on a 26 year old van my wife hates..@Bryan Williams Personally I would of just fitted new calipers & hoses
