Yes, you remember them, they were a little box containing all the rubber seals and a tube of pink grease which you used to replace the rubber bits in a brake wheel cylinder. Used to cost about £3 for an axle.
BUT NOW you can't get them, so, instead, you have to fork out £40 for a brand new wheel cylinder !!!
Even more annoying was having to fork out £80 for a Fiesta brake master cylinder which is purposely designed so you can't get it apart (a hidden internal circlip springs out when Mr Ford stuffs the guts into the cast housing).
