we rebuilt one of the calipers on (well one of them) on Roo yesterday, took about half an hour, and the expertise of muddy but wasn't *that* hard and only cost £10 for the piston repair kit, with enough bits in it to do two.. (or a front one)

admittedly that's discovery, but I wouldn't have thought it was *that* different

I have to agree with datalas. Did the same with my old Landcruiser . Hardest part of the job is the bleeding afterwards .

Had a big piston £10 and a smaller one £5 from Millner Convertions

You could get a set of stainless pistons for about £100 and some places will make them to replace any sample you provide, there's one in Market Rasen who will but I don't recall the number.
