The last couple times I went flying there was oil under the calipers on the floor. This was an issue 3 years ago at annual. We removed the calipers and took out the pistons to clean them up. There was a lot of corrosion inside the caliper where the piston goes. We cleaned it up really good with scotchbrite and put a new seal kit in it hoping for a good outcome. Well I got 3 years out of that but don't think it will work again. So now I'm on the hunt for 2 calipers in great shape.

The IPC says this should be part # 061-01900

I gave up looking for decent used calipers when I checked the new price of a bare cylinder. I could transfer all the other parts, usually in good shape, to the new cylinder and have a great unit with out having to send a couple of bad caliper assys back for exchange.
You might look into that solution. Alan

Just got a quote in from the Cessna parts dealer in Ontario.

$1100.00 for 2 brake cylinders and 2 pistons. Ouch!

Bruce
Aircraft Spruce shows the bare cylinders for $257 each. Alan

Alan,

I can't seem to locate the cylinder on ACS Canada. Do you have a ACS part#?

Never mind. Found them. $359.00 CDN

I don't remember if the pistons are chromed or not. Do you think I will need new pistons too?

And what about the o-ring. I did a search and can't find the Cessna number anywhere.

Bruce
Pistons are aluminum and generally don't corrode like the cylinders do. 101-05200 is the Cleveland p/n for the o-ring. Alan

Cleveland are now owned by PArker Hannafin.

They have a search tool for your nearest distributor if you want to do a little shopping:

Hi Bruce.
Did you want Cleveland or McAuley ?
There is a dismantler (wrecker) out this way, I could check for you.

Thanks Tom but I think I will go new when I get to them.
