Rear brake caliper, '87 5KCST

[Fieldsj@uwwvax.uww.edu (Jerry Fields)]

I have a frozen rear caliper on my '87 5KCST. Can the caliper be rebuilt by
a D.I Y. mechanic, or should I go looking for a used/new/rebuilt unit?
Local auto parts store quoted me a rebuilt price of $169.00 complete with
pads, or $139.00 without pads. I have the Bently manuals, and have done
brake calipers on motorcycles. However, Audis are usually different....

If any members of this list do brake caliper rebuilds, I would consider
shipping mine off to you. (Please E-Mail me rather than post to this list
if you wish to respond.)

As always, any opinions, observations, and tips would be appreciated!
