    Brakes

    ANYBODY HAVE A SOURCE FOR CHEAP SEAL KITS FOR BRAKE CALIPERS? I HAVE AN 82 XJ AND MY LOCAL DEALER WANTS OVER 80 BUCKS A PIECE FOR THE KITS, WHICH INCLUDE THE PISTONS, WHICH I DON'T NEED. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

        on second thought

        search this site with 'XJ caliper kits'. I just posted a similar question and there were a TON of great answers.

            Generally if there not leaking all they need is a good cleaning and fluid change.
            Out of about 10 brake jobs only had to get kits for a couple.

              yeah i figured i'd clean up the pistons and put new seals in the calipers, flush everything out and see what happens. along with cleaning the spooge hole i keep reading about.
