98 110 Brake Calipers

Yes Wayne, I try and apply good advice when I can #1, afford it and #2 understand it :D

The EAC piston kit (one for the whole truck) came with seals, but even adding the Genuine LR seal kits was still cheaper than buying here in Oz, plus I got some OEM(non genuine) swivel balls to get slotted. Pin kits for the pads and a few odds and ends.

@Billo, there is cheap and there is cheap and nasty....Those EAC seals seem to have a pretty good reputation, granted not as good as genuine, but better than alot of others.

Castrol Response Super DOT4 now know as Castrol React Performance DOT4

I'm amazed the kits you blokes are getting don't have the Channel seals in them that's pretty poor With the calliper halves before we do anything there washed in hot water dried and sand blasted inside and out washed again dried and painted then assembled . Ibs or mcx kits should have everything you need in the kits and there good it's all we use

These IBS or MCX kits, are they available for LR calipers?

Yeah any good brake shop should have access to them front p/n k2082s about 21.18bucks trade. Rear is p/n k453s piston dia 42.1 these are expensive for some reasion as 46.85 trade ibs and mcx part numbers are the same mcx should be cheaper we have nil stock of either p/n

Well, being that its unlike me to follow the curve :D, I went ahead and seperated the cailpers. Main reason being that they have been in my parts bin for over 2 years. Periodically I remove the lid and spray the contents with inox or lanox (there are diff centers, cvs, etc in it). So there is a large chance of oil contamination. This could also explain why some of the pistons were not budging under air pressure.

My brake place is chasing part numbers and im going to take the calipers and seals into them tomorrow.

@460cixy, my guy was saying those IBS stuff a bit average quality wise, and the rear pistons are 46mm, not 42.1

The small square section seals should be 17H8764L,outside diam.approx. 12.5mm X 3mm, if the O.D. is 15mm the seal is RTC1137

The large one 3851-739 O.D.12.6mm height 13.4mm

These are the only numbers I can find,hope they help

Jim

Are those pistons Bakelite or steel with a non stick type coating?

I had a feeling there were different piston sizes but I could only find a listing for the smaller piston size I don't do spares so I'm a bit rusty when it come to tracking down some parts we have no books on it it's all on the pc and some of it can be vague. I should of called the supplier but just did not have the time.

as for the ibs kits I haven't had any dramas with them or the mcx kits but we use mcx mostly on price there cheaper. Maybe your bloke had a bad run with them who knows all I can say is what I have experienced


And a note for everyone using brake kleen don't put it anywhere near brake rubbers it will swell them up believe it or not

Ok, having some trouble with front gallery seals. Brake guy says most kits come with them for the solid rotors which don't have the spacer and mine require a much longer seal with tube insert.

Any idea on part#???

Got a pic of the seals?
