Wheel cylinder rebuild question (1 Viewer)

[adavis]

I'm rebuilding all 4 wheel cylinders on the rear of my 1973 FJ40 and have a question. When I'm assembling the wheel cylinders should I put a light coating of anti-sieze on the adjuster piston? Or would Lubriplate be better? All 4 of my cylinders are in beautiful condition with no scoring or pitting. When I disassembled them, the two fronts (with the adjusters up) had the adjusters frozen in the cylinders. There wasn't rust....more of a chalky dust when I pressed them out. A quick light hone and the bores look perfect....I'm just wondering if it would be a good idea to lightly coat the adjuster with something to prevent that from happening again.

Any suggestions, input and/or information would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be rebuilding the front brakes next. Thanks

I used Anti-sieze on my adjusters. Especially where the adjuster sits in the cylinder

Anti seize as well. I did mine 20 years ago and just adjusted them. I am glad I did it.
