Outside or inside? Bill had outside seal problems. If it's at the adjuster in the rear (through the arm) it's an internal adjuster seal.

Outside on both rears Eric, I wanted to send you all my calipers but they are all working (really working, locked up all four on the freeway
) and I am running down on funds (new tranny issue and finish open projects) w/ down to the wire on wether I will be able to paint or not. Nothing like putting in 2 years into these with all funds and time and end up driving multi-primered Porsche.. (UNEMPL;OYMENT HAS ITS LIMITS)Long story short eric if you have a couple of those seal I would gladly pay you handsomely as I want to avoid buying the kits because if I am going to do one kit then I am going to do all four then if I am going to do all four I would rather have them sent to your hands..

Your right, was not thinking.,,
You don't really have to taken them all the way down for those seals. Look at the link that Bill posted. If I recall there's some detailed instructions on how to replace those seals.
The seals are $248.00 a pair. A rebuild is $249.00 a pair.
Shoot me your address again and I'll send some seals in tomorrows mail.

Hi all.
So I have a slight leak from a rear caliper adjustment screw and the claiper is binding a little. I am in the UK and am struggling to get a O ring seal for adjustment screw. Does anyone know how to get hold of one this side of the pond?
With a binding caliper is it worth changing the piston seals as well?
Best regards
Jay

Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity tonight!
Ahhh... if these seals are really that expensive, perhaps I should make them? IF I could get 100 takers at $6 I'd get these started.
If I recall these seals are not too complex.
