So the Fresno car is running and I have a brake pedal BUT the pistons are sticking. Not a surprise, and they need to be serviced or replaced (the MC and lines are all new).
Question of the moment is if I can buy a rebuild kit and just deal with the seals or if I'm going to need pistons. Given that they sat with brake fluid in them for 20+ years it seems likely I'll need to order new ones. Yes/no/maybe? Any experience to share in a similar situation? |
