Helping a nearby Teener with the rear calipers. They are off the car.
1. Appear to have the outer seals replaced by previous owner
2. E-brake levers moves the inner pistons.
3. Want to test on the bench; is there any more that can be done before installing.

You can also mount the caliper in a vise and move the e brake lever.

Yes; did that and both worked. Also noticed the 4mm hex inner adjuster cap is in good condition, only missing the copper washers. Replaced with 5 mm hex cap and copper washers
