Re: CJ Brake Caliper Questions
I just went and got replacements for mine when I rebuilt the brakes.
The replacements were less than $25.00 each with the core charge for the
old one.

Re: CJ Brake Caliper Questions
The seal is the part of the assembly, that is designed to take the wear. It
has the shortest life span, of any of the components. If the seal is not
worn out, you could reuse it, but it wouldn't make sense to do so. Compare
the cost of new seals, with the cost or aggravation to replace them.

Re: CJ Brake Caliper Questions
Did you also do a rotor replacement / turning ???
Are the rotors difficult to replace (i.e. get off the hub) ??

Re: CJ Brake Caliper Questions
I replaced mine. They were difficult to pop off the hubs due to rust.
I used lots of anti seize when putting things back together.
