Broken Caliper Rubber Boot

[Izzmo]

Anyone know how to repair/fix a hole in the rubber boot on the PBR upgrade brake calipers?

The thing is leaking oil pretty bad.

If it is to replace the whole rubber boot, does anyone know where they sell those?

They should make a rebuild kit for it. There would be a new rubber boot and some seal rings. Pretty easy to rebuild.

As a matter of fact Ford apparently has a kit. http://www.2kgt.com/item.php?itemid=130

Nice link.

Thanks Paul that helps a bunch.

Quick question..

The whole in the dust boot is inside one of the grooves, so the ability for dust to get in there is probably pretty slim.

Should I still replace it?

Here are some pix of where the hole is. You can't see it to well, but I outlined it for easy reference.

Scratch that, there is another hole.. damnit..

One way to fix that would be to clean the boot totally and use epoxy to fill the holes....
Has been working on mine for a couple of years now....
