Hello:

This approach has worked for me-- I had a seal that was messed up but the caliper was still functioning well. A local rebuilder gave me the seals, which I installed after careful cleaning with brake cleaner, lubricating the seal with brake fluid. Afterwards I smeared the seal faces with Sylglide. That was about 2 years ago-- so far, so good.

The other approach is to look for a good clean caliper at your Pick-n-pull-- probably cheaper than a seal kit.

Good luck!
