Brakes again

[Derek Pulvino]

Curious why you're stating the caliper should be serviced concurrently.  Is 
there a prescribed maintenance interval?  If so, is that (maint. interval) 
the basis of your recomendation for rebuilding the caliper, otherwise I'm 
not sure how a problem at the guide pin would lead to a problem within the 
caliper, especially when there is no external visual indication of caliper 
problem.

Also, does anybody have a good solution for turning the piston into the 
caliper short of buying the special tool?
