Hi All
I replaced my front pads and discs the weekend on my Nissan Serena, whilst doing so I noticed a split dust cover on one of the twin pistons.
In time I know this will cause issues and may cause the piston to seize up so I have two options. obviously with cost in mind.
1. To get a service kit and get a mechanic to do the job for me, (don't feel confident doing this myself), which will involve bleeding the brakes also.
2. Buy a used whole caliper from a scrappy which I have seen, pistons look a bit rusty but dust covers look fine, I can fit this myself and bleed the brakes I am told you cannot use emery cloth to clean as there is a seal on them.
If I go with option 2, what would you recommend to clean the pistons?
Any advice would be truly appreciated.
