When I took the tokicos apart to clean em and service them I never expected anywhere near the level of damage I found.
Take note - If you do a rebuild, PUT THE GODAMNED DUST SEALS IN! THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON!!!Q!!
./rant mode off
so, Ive got the pistons out, theyre all pitted, half of em ive ripped a new ass on just trying to get them out of the caliper body, theres brake dust everywhere inside the gallery.
Assessment, new Pistons needed, ditto seals
So I order them from Powerhouse on fleabay, does full kits for tokicos
12 shiny new pistons, 190 (stock theyre something ridiculous like 50 a piece, for a machined hollow piece of stainless)
Order the seal kit yay 60 bucks

AHHH F**K says I as i notice that I selected the "4" piston Tokico kit instead of the 6
Check the web, 9am in England, call them, he just laughed, cancelled the order on the spot for the seals and refunded it, told me to lodge a new one for the right kit, make sure I set it to customer pickup for the freight and he would just put them in the same box.
Cannot speak highly enough of this guy, and he even gave me a couple pointers on rebuilding the calipers as well while we were talking, little things you forget when you havent done it in 23 years
Powerhouse UK on fleabay
