    stuck front caliper

    I know this seems to be an on going forum issue.
    My bike is a GS550E 1979
    -completely rebuilt.
    I have had the front caliper sticking on and off for 3 years (I don't ride too Often)
    I have tried lots of things to fix it.(new master cylinder-new brake lines etc)
    I find it difficult to purchase parts for the front caliper
    compared to the rear.
    -anyways, I'm rebuilding the caliper again.
    I've enclosed a picture of the 2 slider bolts.
    there are 2 o-rings on one bolt and no o-rings on the other.
    Is that the way it should be?
    thanks

    The schematics show only 2 of the O-rings used and only on the one rear pin.

    Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)
