G'day fellas,
this is probobly inappropriate as the trip's already been taken, however,
in over 50 years doing my own servicing, I've never had a siezed piston. All cars, all models lots.
Brake fluid, no matter how clean it looks, absorbs water moisture over time and this can cause rusting throughout any iron based parts in the system. Like for example the master cylinder.
Rubber components invariably break down/decompose over time and cause leakage which causes brake line pressure failure. That however is NOT a cause of rust although the fix is probably similar.
Change the fluid according to recommendation and the metal parts will last longer and possibly even the rubbers as well.
Pain the the bum having to do it, and baby I know it, but at least if you do it yourself you'll be getting max life out of the system, guaranteed.
Luck,
Col
