Since it will be out thinking about other seals to do without getting overly involved. Also reason for asking about the B2 piston pin because I might as well replace B2 cover "O" ring while it's out.
Appreciate your help.

Why do you ask?


(Is it as obvious as it seems?)
I realised who you are - I was jumping to conclusions a bit. I thought you'd taken it to bits and then found that it wasn't working. If you are in doubt to whether a brake band piston is working or not you can test them with compressed air (but you do need to remove the valve body for that... and you can visually check for those bullet like parts that go between the brake band and the piston - removing the valve body isn't such a big deal - though you might want to consider a new gasket) =>

Different transmission of course (I still haven't gotten to that stage with this one yet) but it gove you the idea of what to do I think.
