Hi all.
I have a 89 lite ace 1.8 petrol.i need a front near side calliper as the piston is sticking.,
toyota bristol quote 184.93 plus vat(part no 47750 27060).
They also say it's the same as models beginning cm3...km3...ym3...
does anyone know what models these represent (ie townace 89) so i can source the parts that way through foriegn parts etc. I have been told that the british lite ace 1.5 Lt panel van might be interchangable, (the piston replacement and dust kit are the same part number)but the plate sub assembly (bit that clamps to wheel) is different, i wonder if the actual piston housing might be the same and therefore cheaper as it is more easier to get.

Richard,

I cannot help with identifying the part numbers but, if it is only the piston sticking, do you really need to replace the whole assembly ? I had the same problem with my Masterace and, if you take the caliper off and clean the exposed part of the piston plus a good soaking in brake fluid, you might find that the piston will ease it's way out, especially if you remove the bleed nipple at the back of the cylinder and tap the back of the piston with a brass punch. Once the piston is out, the bore can be cleaned (don't use any abrasive) and you might find that the seal is still in good condition and can be re-used.
