So if I replace the seals with OEM I have a cleaned up like new set of OEM calipers. Just what I wanted. I forgot to mention I had Autozone order these from Fenco (remanufacturer) for $42 each side. In my book that is better than a half-day trip to the junkyard for $25/side calipers and another half-day cleaning up the housings.

You are probably right but I bought these seals before I knew the old calipers were seized, and if I don't use them now, they will sit in a closet for a few years. Why not go OEM all the way, especially with MB Doc's recomendation?
