Dnk Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Really depends what condition the calipers are in especially the seals and pistons. Did they come off a car or bought later as parts from Toyota ? Edited March 10, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 They look in pretty good condition.......given the new pads are in the 2 pins on the backs must slide out easily which is another good sign! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I sold the front callipers only after a full rebuild with new seals etc and fresh powder coated for £350 Just to give you an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Phone Toyota (Steve Manley) and get a price for them brand new, i could get them for £186 each inc vat not so long ago. You really need to see what the outer dirt seal looks like really and how rusty the pistons are, if they haven't been refurbed then they could be 20 + years old and will soon need doing The outer dirt seals perish and split or get small holes in them letting dirt and moisture get down into the piston bore which then causes the piston to seize in the bore and suffer pitting around its outer diameter. Seal kits were around £50 to do both calipers and pistons are around £20 each so to do both with new pistons and seals is going to cost around £210 just in parts Edited March 11, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
