    Thanks Ed! Got the new seals ordered from partzilla. Looks like they ran out of brake pads but at least I can get the seals ordered. The piston doesnt have any rust upon first glance so that’s awesome.

    to clean, should i just use any old brake cleaner, or do you have a brand recommendation? You’ve been a ton of help thus far.

      What you use to clean depends on the condition of the caliper.
      If it's clean or just has a layer of crude, scrub it with a Scotch Brite , then rinse with brake clean.
      The groove for the O ring needs to be perfectly clean

      Be sure everything is clean, dry and petroleum free prior to assembly
