Rebuilding frosen rear calipers on a 200 quattro in Sweden, please help.

[Jörgen Karlsson <jurg@2.sbbs.se>]

Is this anything I successfully can repair myself?
I have heard on the list that some of the rebuild kits are defective.

I have tried buying parts in the US using Swedish part# and I have never
succeeded for example the brake bomb was a totally different part. The last
time I tried to buy the rear callipers, there were no such part. These
numbers are most definitely valid in Sweden.

Funny prices:
It now seems like we have a major revision of prices here in Sweden, this
haven't hit the rear callipers yet, they are three times the price of the
bomb. The bomb was 900$ before. The callipers are 700$ now!

Is a 5000cs called a 5000tq on the list. (In Sweden Audis have always been
called 80,90,100 and 200.)
