Corroded brake piston - should I reuse?
That's the offending fella, what do you think, will it be ok reusing it or is that a bad idea? I've wire wooled the rust off, and the inside of the barrel looks OK... |

I would just replace the whole caliper. They are not very expensive.

I know the feeling. It'll be worth changing it out. Dave |
