100% correct, a little pitting won’t matter

Right. As long as the pits aren't in where the seal goes. The seal goes in the caliper housing....Joe

I was thinking of the master, however in 45 years of playing with the single piston calipers I have never replaced the piston assembly for pitting. Yes forgot the seal is stationary. I have had pistons stuck, but have always been successful in freeing it up.

I sold several of the pistons years back when I worked at NAPA. Some were damaged when people didn't know how to remove them. Some had phenolic pistons that they were replacing. Never researched where they came from.....Joe
