How time flies. Even when you're not having fun.
I dropped the diff (which turned out to be a bigger job than I thought). Then took the calipers into work. Some brake kits from Mark Gray, some head scratching and a few o rings left over and I have the calipers back together.
The passenger side was probably the worse in terms of crud buildup inside:
Everything needed a good soaking and scrub in brake cleaner and degreaser.
The passenger one was also a little bit harder to put back together as it's not the one in the exploded parts diagram, so I had to look back at photos to make sure I had the brake pad clips back the right way.
I think I got the bracket on top of the passenger "cup" around the right way. I'm also going to dremel clean the cover/cups tonight when I get home.
I gave the diff itself a good clean the other night and it dried in about 2 minutes in the 35 degree heat. I've got my brother in law around a bit lately so we're going to change the extension oil seal and change the diff oil while it's out.
