Advice on brake bleeding

[Robotsan]

Are these the parts Jon? And if so, is there anything else I may as well add too - brake shoes perhaps?

They're the ones. I think I did centric when I did mine last winter, and they worked out OK.

My rear left did exactly the same previously!

Wheel cylinder cured it.

A word of caution - make sure whatever you buy matches the other side. I noticed there are different sized pistons which provide a different braking force for example 7/8ths 3/4 etc. on my car the original cyls were 15/16ths which I could not find for love nor money - so IIRC I went for the 7/8ths.

Or just replace both at the same time.

It would be written on the cyl assembly.

Yes replace the shoes too.

Ah ok, thanks. So if I change both at once I don't need to check or know which force they are? Or should I really check what I've got now?
