Question about UFO calipers

[Bernie Benz]

Kev,

IMO You don’t need new carriers, just a caliper overhaul, including  
the cleaning and regreasing of the caliper slide pins and bushings.  
No overhaul info in Bentley, so you must wing it, but pretty simple  
and obvious. If you need more specifics, ask.

Bernie
