Hi Bob,

Just got seal kits from dealer:

Front (double pistons): p/n 447 698 471 - $22.22
Rear                  : p/n 443 698 671 - $25.54

With Qlist discount from Linda@Carlsen

Rebuilding is easy as long as the rears are not seized from corrosion.
Check that the pistons or bores are not scored.  Procedures shown in both
Haynes and Bentley.

HTH,

-Tony
