So just to clarify...i need 2 per caliper so a total of 8? Correct?? Thanks for all your help, Andrew

Theta

Those are the gaskets for the front calipers. If you need the rears as well, I will look those up.

drewauby5

yep, going to powder coat the 4 of them...Thanks

Theta

Turns out the rear gaskets are, indeed, the same part number as the fronts. You'll need a total of 8 as you noted.

drewauby5

much appreciated!

I'd like to powder coat mine too. Does the piston and bleeders need to be removed to do that?

Blue Force

I am assuming the gasket hose pins and the crush pins are the one and same. Are the crush pins unusual to you - triangular in shape? If so, how did you remove?

Jedi-Jurist

How should you cap the brake hose fitting? Is there a part or tool that should be used?

RHORTON164

I bought 4 bolts, 4 nuts, and 8 seal washers from Ace hardware. Put one seal washer on the bolt, put bolt into the end of the brake line, put on second seal washer and then the nut. Center up in hole and tighten. Works great and about $3 for the complete set.

sycraft

Since you are replacing the old seal crush washers use those, just a bolt and nut are needed

Do you recall the size of the bolt you used?
