Any hints and tips on over-hauling REAR brake calipers?
It seems 'easy' from Haynes but . . . . . . . . . . . .
also just where do i source a seal kit as opposed to a WHOLE caliper, local factors don't do kits
my MoT was just in and I'd like to get it better for next year.
(also plan to buy a whole front suspension set-up as 'bushes' are 'worn but serviceable' on the last two tests, and I had to do a ball-joint for this year ) but with near 100k on the clock I suppose these parts do wear

Re: Tips on rebuilding REAR brake calipers
On ebay there are quite a few companies selling Volvo 480 brake caliper rebuild kits.
I haven't tried them though as time pressures meant that I just went for full refurb calipers.
