Rebuilding seems like a good idea on the MC/WC/Calipers until you have to redo em 6 months
later. Trust me I know. Right now I have a leaking right front caliper because a) I couldn't
get a rebuild or new one on the right side and b) I went ahead amd rebuilt it. It works ok
until it decides to spew fluid at some point under hard braking which then elicits load
squeeling until it burns off the leaked fluid. I definitely wont track it like that and will have
to either rebuild or replace with a good unit. I must have pinched the piston seal somewhere
during reassembly.
