Brake Calliper Piston and Seal Kit - Front Axle - overhaul set for the front brake callipers, part of the front foundation braking assembly.

Each front calliper runs four pistons in the calliper body. The original pistons pit and corrode in their bores, so they no longer retract cleanly - the pads stay in contact with the disc, the brake drags and the friction material wears unevenly across the pad. Replacing the pistons with stainless steel items and renewing the seals allows the existing calliper bodies to be rebuilt rather than exchanged.

The kit covers a complete front axle: eight 46 mm stainless steel pistons and two calliper seal kits.

Frequently asked questions

What does the GA1166 front brake calliper kit include?
GA1166 is a piston and seal overhaul kit for the Defender's front brake callipers. It supplies eight 46mm stainless steel pistons and two calliper seal kits, enough to rebuild both front callipers on one axle.
Which Defenders fit the GA1166 front calliper kit?
GA1166 fits the Defender front axle from VIN HA701010 on, approximately 1994 onward. Confirm your vehicle's VIN falls within this range before ordering, as earlier chassis use a different calliper design.
Why do Defender brake callipers need this kit?
Original callipers pit and corrode in the piston bores over time, so pistons stop retracting cleanly. The pads then stay in contact with the disc, causing brake drag and uneven pad wear, which GA1166's stainless pistons and seals are designed to fix.
Can the original calliper body be reused with this kit?
Yes. GA1166 is designed to rebuild your existing front calliper bodies rather than replace them outright, fitting new stainless pistons and seals into the original housings.
