While i have everything apart i decided to rebuild the calipers. Have one done and painted!

Thanks to calan for the guide to help me along.

I used Beck Arnley 071-7888 rebuild kit. It comes with everything to do both fronts.

	Looks great! How much time was involved on that one caliper?

I would say roughly ~1 hour not counting waiting time for everything(paint to dry etc). Longest part is cleaning the old paint off and getting the surface ready for primer.
Also i have yet to do the clear coat that is supposed to help make the paint last. I will be doing the other caliper first then clear both.

Thanks to everyone for the comments.

I wouldnt think it would make much of a difference, its more of a maintenance thing meaning it would work fine until the seals got too old and started leaking then at that point you would be in trouble.
