1) Will the shotblast remove the remainding rubber?
1) If not will this affect the reliability of the new seal?
Any thoughts would be useful. Ill try and get some pics up to make it a little more clearer

Post #1
Just bought some Lucas calipers which im looking to refurb. Ive dismantled it and taken off all rubber ready to be blasted. However the rubber seal around the piston was wedged in with the rust that had occured. As per the pics i will get rid of the remainder but i can't quite get in the gap. Ive managed to remove most of it, but some of it is still present. Firstly:1) Will the shotblast remove the remainding rubber? 1) If not will this affect the reliability of the new seal? Any thoughts would be useful. Ill try and get some pics up to make it a little more clearer ![]() ![]() |

the dust seal or the fluid seal?ideally you need to blast them with the seals in place to protect the piston bore in the caliper's body. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

crikey, did you dig them up from the beach?!they should be fine as they are as long as you push the piston back in, you will need to clean any corrosion from where the seal seats by hand to prevent the blasting media from damaging the piston/bores. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

French Spares. And the only reason i bought them from them was because everyone else was charging me a lot less - thinking less was worse. So i went for a middle price thinking id get a half decent set. ![]() |
