[Vwdiesel] Re: Brake rebuilding

[82 Diesel Westy]

Hi all, I have 2 sets of front ATE calipers for my 82
vans.  I would like to do a quick re-build on the pair
of calipers that I will use, so wondering a good
source for a rebuild kit.  They have been sitting
around for years, so I would like make sure they will
work after installation so I do not have to do the job
3 times before getting it right..........ahhh

I have only ever rebuilt rear brake cylinders, very
easy.

How easy is it to rebuild these front caliper pistons
assuming I do not need to hone?


Do you need any special tools or tricks to get the
piston out and replace the rubber seals?


Does anyone have a parts source for rebuild kit for
these calipers?  autohauz?

Thanks, BRyan
