Did you separate the two halves of the caliper? If it is an ATE, you're really not supposed to. Even when replacing the piston seals, you don't need to separate the halves.
If that is indeed what you did, you probably wont find those seals anywhere.

Thanks guys, indeed I did split the two halves open.Tom you said I could get the o-ring set, where could I find it? You guys can believe me this will be the last time I ever take the caliper off in two parts.

Good luck with the seals. If you do find them, you might need to check with ATE about the torque specs for the halves. In the manual, it says not to separate the halves because they are torqued unequally at the factory.

well
that sounds like you will have to buy the rebuilt calipers. i must be wrong about brian splitting them. now that i think more i believe he must have changed the puck seals and dust shields only.

Ok....
Alright guys, I put the new caliper on, I have bled the brakes like crazy, used a quart of brake fluid, and not only can I not get the brake light to go off, but the brakes are extremly spongy and weak! I have cracked open and bled every line I can find including the ones coming from the resevior and the master cylinder. What is the deal, has any one else had this much trouble over a caliper? Any help would be much appreciated!!
