[Rovernet] REQUEST FOR ADVICE

[Vern Inkspot]

Girling rears are a little hydraulic piston running in a small bore, so the bore is the sealing surface.

Yours

Usually the hydraulic cylinder in the caliper leaks. If so, the cylinder has to be resleeved, preferably with stainless steel. You need a good machinist to do this.

I subsequently had it removed, sent back to them, and had it reinstalled, they maintained it was tested, however, it continues to leak. At this juncture I am a loss of how to proceed. I can send it back to them, with little confidence that it will continue to operate. I can try and locate another shop… Any advice is much appreciated. The cost of both installations was considerable. I am at an age where do it yourself is no longer feasible, without proper tools and a workspace.
