I love diy, but still lingering is the question of if it will still bind. All of this could be for naught.

I did learn how to do it, that’s something aim happy about. But I’m still not done with one side rebuild, let along the other side, the rears, or my 240, which is likely prudent....

All that makes me tired. For $40-ish a piece, subsequent ones will need to be much faster, or else not worth the hassle and hand pains, IMO.
If you ever exchange your calipers you could get ATE Calipers instead of the bendix ones. The ATEs are easier to rebuild; you insert the Piston, install the Boot and then the Heat Shield goes on last.
