Calipers are under $40 each. I'd just buy new ones. Just my :2cents:

If you've never rebuilt calipers, this would be the perfect time.

If it doesn't work out, then call it a good learning experience, assemble, and turn them in for the core charge.

I replaced the ones on my 68 CS. Matter of personal choice.
