calliper seal kit?
took my my99 uk turbo into dealers to look at rear passenger brakes getting red hot for no reason. apparantly i need a caliper seal kit which works out at around £90 fitted. just wondered if i could buy the kit cheaper anywhere else and maybe fit myself if not too difficult. im no mechanic but i change all my own disks and pads with relative ease and the rear callipers especially only look like a simple thing to work on. any help apreciated cheers. leon

p.s. use plenty brake grease on the piston above the seal in case any water gets past the rubber boots.
