Default Super dirty inner brake caliper

Hi - was doing a brake job and found the inside of the cailiper in this state. Should I assume the piston and seals need replacement?

The general consensus seems to be to buy a reman and don’t fiddle with trying to rebuild the caliper. How does the other side look in comparison?

There was a guy selling good condition used ones in classifieds btw.

Good luck!

If you clean it with a brush and brake cleaner prior to retracting the caliper, it might be fine as-is.

The other side very clean.... BUT the piston was seized... I pished the psiton out and it was very badly scored and has zero lube....

just ordered a set for reman nissen rears from amazon. Just 150? Lets see how they work out. Will likely replace both sides.

any tips on releasing and re-engaging the handbrake cable?

Got the amazon replacements... not nissen but for $147 for two, that is okay i guess.
