[s-cars] Rebuilt calipers

[Peter Schulz]

Another data point....

Recently rebuilt the rear driver's caliper on my 90Q20v sedan....

Visually, the caliper looked less than a few years old ( likely replaced 
soon before I purchased it a year ago)
(Living in New England gives new perspective on the word "rust")-minimal or 
no rust on the caliper body.

The caliper had new seal on the ebrake mechanism - could read the seal id.

However there was MINIMAL grease in the ebrake mechanism bore in the 
caliper body - and it wasn't very viscous ( perhaps not even water 
proof!!!), hence some corrosion on the caliper cam shaft.  When I rebuild 
the calipers, I arguably use too much synthetic high temp brake caliper 
grease in the mechanism.
