Joost, here are my thoughts. YES!! You should be able to use a regular
o-ring to replace the broken one. I'm not a rubber-ologist, but I've worn
them before and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night! :^) (American
TV Commercial). As far as the rusty part, polish it with a fine steel wool
pad to remove the rust. The rust occurred because of moisture in your brake
fluid. Don't worrry about lubricating the pistion as the brake fluid will
provide enough lubrication.

Hello to everyone, I recently started to rebuild my abs pump. Thanks for
the rebuild procedure from the I-net, it was really helpfull. But a problem
occured.
The 2 cilinders in de sides of the unit. The ones with the O-rings.
Inside these ones are little pistons with one sealing each.
One of these sealings is broken, dealer says he can't order the peaces.
Can I replace it by a regular O-ring? I doubt that, but what do you think?
Another problem is that one of the cilinders was become one rusty part with
the little piston.
Think that's because the side who slides against the bearing (at the axle
of the electrical engine) has no lubrication whith the cilinder. Can I use
some regular grease?
In the attempt to seperate them, i dammaged them a little. Dealer tells the
same story.
Question: ABS unit GTS = ABS unit FJ1200??
Is there someone in Belgium who has spare parts? (One cilinder + piston +
sealings)
Thanks for listening to this, already many times heared, subject.
Regards Joost Cuyckens, Belgium.
