Scratching them could allow a leak around the O-ring. Deforming them would be even worse. You may be able to find them on courtesyparts.com

Gotcha. I definitely need some. I found them on Rock Auto for $9 per piston. Not too bad.

Here are the teeth marks from the vice grip when I pull the pistons out. Most of them are on the lips and inner walls. You guys think they are okay?

Also I did find scratches on the rear piston walls and I am going to order new ones. Do you guys think Centric pistons are as good as oem ones?
