Rear caliper rubber boots
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 11:23 pm
Does anyone know whether it is possible to range the rubber boots around the rear caliper piston and if so how difficult it is. My dealer says I have to buy new calipers !!
I'm sure you will be able to strip the caliper down to change them - If you can get them. Talk to the parts guys to see if the boots are called off or alternatively check the ETKA parts listing yourself.

You'll have to register - its free.
Failing that I'm sure the standard front Calipers are made by Girling check the caliper for the manufacturers name then try a motor factor.
If you can get the service kit which will come come with new seals and pistons etc. These are typically less than a £10.
