If not, you might want to think about a reman caliper.
I did order a pair of reman'd calipers. Excellent time to paint them as well, I assume. So multiple questions now:

1. Can I use the kind of heat resistant paint used on gas grills?

2. My 3 ton jack stand is questionable for this car (read as: I have no clue as to whether this is adequate to support the weight of the front driver side corner of the car). I have a 7 ton jack but it is too tall to go under the passenger compartment frame 'rail'. Any other jackstand locations I can use at the front of the car? Do I need to get a bigger hydraulic jack so I *can* get the 7 ton jack under the passenger compartment (on the frame rail)?

3. I also have new brake hoses (that go from the car to the caliper to the car). Is my best way to replace them just to cut the old ones to get a socket on the car side to remove it?

4. Any other things that might be gotchas? I already have a mighty vac to bleed the brakes once this is all done.

Thanks again.

Bill
