Has anyone tried repairing instead of replacing the ABS brake actuator?

    I've done some light searching and cannot find any information on anyone at least trying to fix their failing brake actuator assembly.

    Every thread and youtube video that turns up is just replace actuator and accumulator.

    I was just wondering if I am using the wrong search terms or the knowledge is just buried.

    The hybrid pit briefly said they are "repairing" them. Then it faded away....
    Likely because of the liability risk.
    I do it correctly and safely, you likely need special tools, and the correct replacement parts.

    Whomever builds them for Toyota, would be the ones to repair them.

    Just take one and start taking it apart and and you'll quickly see the problem and why it's not being rebuilt I guess there are a few of them like this BMW had this problem years ago now all the newer cars this thing is mounted on the fender well and a rebuilt was $149 or similar
