Help (brake caliper rebuild kit needed)
Just waited on parts from Lexus for 5 weeks and they are wrong and I was told they can't be ordered. I need the seals/square orings that sit in the brake calipers and the brake pistons move through. I do not need the outer dust seals. Thank you for anyone providing me with a part number and or info... My car has been laid up five weeks since project cera coat.

Check Rock Auto. Lexus does not sell the caliper piston seals, and the Lexus service manual specifically says to never remove the pistons from the calipers. They're just brake calipers - no idea why they are so weird about it.

You need one kit per caliper.

Hi All,
bumping this thread because I’m wondering if anyone knows if Centric makes replacement pistons for our calipers(Front)? My front calipers are in “need” of re-painting, so my plan is to have the old paint sandblasted off. To do this, Ive had to remove all the dust boots, pistons and piston seals.The part of the piston that contacts the brake pad is corroding and flaking, so Im interested to see what the replacement options are. RB seems to have replacements, but they're quite pricey and I’m thinking if Centric has replacements, they'll likely be less expensive. It’s not the end of the world if I dont replace the pistons, the bodies are in good shape, just thought while I have the calipers apart I might as well check, since hopefully I wont have them apart again for a long while. Ive reached out to Centric’s tech service directly, so I’ll update here with what I find.
Thanks,
