Slowly starting to reassemble everything. Waiting on seals to get here Tuesday so I can hopefully go for a test drive next weekend. All the bearings appear to be in decent shape. Crossing my fingers everything goes back on without issue.
getting the old calipers off was the biggest PITA.

Was able to get everything cleaned up and greased and reinstalled this afternoon. New parking brake cables, brake line fittings and shocks installed as well. Only things left to do is bleed the brakes and put tires on to see how everything feels.

Does anyone know how to get this rubber out without destroying it? In the process of sanding the various mirror components to repaint. Can’t seem to find replacement rubber or mirror glass for these. Not sure what they were called? Any help appreciated!
