Rear j spec 1pot caliper seized . Are these the same calipers as Lexus gs300 ?

[Guest magico]

My caliper is seized , I've managed to remove the piston , cleaned it ,but it won't slide back in very well . IS it worth me buying a new seal kit or should I go down the refurb or new route ?. I've seen a Lexus gs3.0 caliper which looks very similar on the pic , would this fit, is it the same? If not does anybody know where I can get one or how much for a kit? what should I do , the cars 20yrs old I've owned it for 10yrs. Any help greatly appreciated!::help::help::help::help:

If you pay your membership you can post a wanted thread for a new calliper. Plenty of cars being broken at the moment.

I'd be having a good look at all your calipers as they will all be on the verge of failing

due to the age and state of the outer dirt seals

 

From Toyota your looking at approx £200 for each caliper whether they are

4 pot, 2 pot or 1 pot

Inside the piston hole you will see a rubber seal in a recess, I suspect if you remove this the piston will slide in and out nicely. If it does and you want to diy I'd get a new seal kit and renew all and it should be fine.

Thankyou for your help, I thought these looked very similiar and seem more readEly available than if you do searches for imports.
