Anyone know where I might be able to find nitrile o-rings? I need to rebuild one of my rear calipers and need o-rings that resist brake fluid. Tried rebuilding it before with a rubber o-ring, but it only lasted about 3 months.
harbor freight has a nitrile o ring set.
If you are talking about the square cut seal that goes on the piston of the caliper it should be brake fluid resistant. Otherwise get an OEM one from the dealer.
Dealers sell brake caliper rebuild kits, so do some parts stores
Paintball guns use nitrile O rings but you probably wont find the right size
Its a standard type o-ring that goes on the bottom of the threaded rod for the parking brake mechanism. I’ve also got the seal kit on order from the dealer.
Thanks, i’ll be heading there tomorrow then.
I picked some up at harbor freight. Hopefully they work better than the old one did.
