CALIPERS!!!!



Chris,
	Rebuilding the rear caliper is a real piece of cake,
	new Seals and dust covers are available in a kit. I think what 
	you will find is the Pistons Gummed up a bit and easily cleaned
	up. Lacquer thinner and some rubbing. Thats what I found on my 4000Q.
	Pistons are Chrome Plated Steel so not likely to be rusted.
	Remove Caliper from Axel, and Screw out piston with 10mm hex key.
	May need some Brake assembly lube for reassembly. Take  them all apart
	and clean with spray Brake Cleaner reassemble. etc.. See Bently
	manual.

	Kit is about $25.00 for both sides. Rotors can be had pretty
	cheaply as well.
	Check with HALSEY IMPORT PARTS 800-792-0081 for rotor price,
	and also Carlsen. Carlsen will have the Caliper rebuild Kits
	as thats where I got mine.
