Clyde -

With all due respect, have you ever taken a brake caliper apart?

It is probably one of simplest things on a car. A typical two piston  
caliper has two o-rings, two inner seals (just a large square o-ring),  
and two outer dust seals.

I feel I can do as good a job (if not better) rebuilding them myself  
vs buying rebuilt calipers.

That said, I do only use original seals (IOW a genuine ate kit for an  
ate caliper).

'nuff said,

Jeff
