2001 TD5 90 Front brake pistons and seal question

Hi, I'm looking to replace my front pistons and seals on my 4 pot calipers. I looked on the site and have found some useful information but cannot find the part numbers for the pistons or seals. Could anyone point me in the direction of the correct parts please. As recommended I only want genuine Lockheed parts and ideally stainless pistons. The VIN (well the last part) is 1Axxxxxx

Thanks in advance Mike

Zeus for your stainless pistons

Seal kits from Britcar?

Don't forget the red brake grease for assembly

Don't forget these if you plan to split the calipers

your kit of parts for one side front caliper + link parts

Pressure Seal x 4
Wiping Seal x 4
Retainer Ring x 4

you shod have 46mm diameter pistons in your calipers

Don't split them, no need, just more fuss.

You're after parts 15 and 16 here:

Not sure which relates to your year though!

Oh, and there aint no thing as Lockheed or genuine pistons in stainless Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

It is not needed to split the calipers to get the pistons out, so if there is no reason to split them don't do it.

If you have some completely worn brake pads or something that has the thickness of the metal part of the brake pads put them in instead off your brakepads and pump the brakes to get the pistons out as far as possible before you take the calipers off. This way you can easily get the pistons out. Roel
