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.

Re: CJ Brake Caliper Questions
You can buy a kit of rubber parts and rebuild the calipers, then you will
ensure the quality of the rubber and flush them at the same time.

Re: CJ Brake Caliper Questions
Jack-Jack did pass the time by typing:
> Rebuild Kits: $17
> Rebuilt Calipers with ALL the hardware $18 w/core x
The only thing I'd add about rebuilt parts is watch the
quality. With the cheap/china/korea stuff you get what
you pay for. Factory is almost always higher quality
metal and castings.
