I am currently going thru the front and rear of my car and re doing the brakes, the front Calipers I did without a problem but the rears seem to be another thing.
On the left hand side one of the sleeves is worn in quit bad and now when I opened the passenger side I found this nice gash inside the sleeve, now the calipers never leaked any fluid with the original lip seals, I will be installing O rings but would I be safe on re using this or should I buy new calipers...?
No I did not hone the bore yet, but I'm sure it won't come out with honing.
Now I am looking at replacement calipers and see Raybestos frc8003 or acdelco 18FR818
Anybody know if these are with the O ring and what would be the best choice ?
I would have mine refurbd but since I am in Europe and shipping these lumps is going to be as expensive as the core deposit I'm stuck with buying refurb and adding the core charge...
I think if you want to make sure that you get an o- ringed caliper, you'd be best off buying from VB&P or the other forum vendors. O-ring is an aftermarket thing so I'd doubt you'd get on from a regular parts dealer.
