O-ring caliper conversion
I've got leaking calipers again. I've always exchanged my calipers for rebuilt ones when this happens, but I'm thinking I've got stainless sleeves in my calipers, so it should be simple to rebuild them. Any one ever done the o-ring conversion and can offer some advice? Is it fairly simple? Any pitfalls?

Buy the complete kit from any of the suppliers. It's a simple and straight forward job. It takes longer to bleed the brakes afterwords than doing the calipers. I did both c3's because of the constant leaks every spring in one car or the other and haven"t had a problem since!
