Front brake caliper piston repair kit used within the front brake disc and caliper assembly.

The components install inside the hydraulic caliper body where brake fluid pressure from the braking hydraulic circuit acts on the pistons to force the brake pads against the brake disc. Correct piston movement is required to maintain consistent clamping force and stable brake performance within the front axle braking system.

The pistons operate within the caliper cylinder bores and act directly on the brake pads, converting hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder through the brake hydraulic circuit into mechanical clamping force on the brake disc during braking.

Kit contents:
4 × brake caliper pistons
4 × piston hydraulic seals
4 × piston dust seals
4 × retaining rings for dust seals

Frequently asked questions

What's included in the STC1280R piston kit?

It covers a full front axle rebuild with four caliper pistons, four piston hydraulic seals, four piston dust seals and four dust seal retaining rings, enough to service both front calipers on a Defender.

Do I need one kit or two for the front axle?

Just one kit covers the complete front axle, since it contains four pistons split between the two front calipers, two per caliper. You don't need a separate kit for each side.

Why do caliper pistons need rebuilding or replacing?

Caliper pistons seize or stick over time as the rubber seals harden and corrosion builds up on the piston bore, especially on vehicles that see limited use. A dragging brake, uneven pad wear or a caliper that won't release are signs it needs attention.

Can the old seals be reused with new pistons?

No, the hydraulic and dust seals should always be replaced as a full set whenever the caliper is rebuilt. Reusing old seals risks a fluid leak or lets moisture and dirt back into the caliper bore.
