Brake Caliper Dust Seals

Nick H · Oct 23, 2014

One of my front brake Caliper dust seals has split and is making the piston bind/stick (GSA 1150).

I can't seem to find anywhere that will just provide a new seal, with full kits including all seals and pistons for £60 plus seeming to be the only option.

Anyone know of somewhere I can source just the seals?

Cheers in advance.

Just measure the o/d of the piston then order a dust seal. If your gonna replace the dust seal you may as well do the main seal at the same time.
Actually you'd be as well doing both seals on each piston, if ones gone the others probably won't be far behind.

I did mine on my 1150 a couple of years ago and could not find the dust seals anywhere, ended up biting the bullet and getting the full kit.
On the upside It didn't half feel bloody good though when they were rebuilt.

Thanks for the replies. Will have a go trying to source the seals and if no luck will have to bite the bullet.

Fit the full seal kit while you've got them apart, if the dust seal has failed the main seals may be damaged by now. £60 doesn't seem to much to know you are going to have brakes when you really need them. Why take a chance with them.
