Leaking Calipers
My 66 Corvette has not been driven in awhile , the other day I noticed a caliper was leaking slightly. The calipers are all S.S. sleeved and have lip seals. Would it better to go with calipers that have been O ringed instead of lip seals ? Wanting to get it out of the garage and drive it some this year.
Thanks , Gene

Ok ,I thought I would try rebuilding the leaking caliper, now trying to get the bolts out that hold the two caliper halfs together they torque to 120-140 lbs. Somewhere I heard loosing them while the caliper is still on the car but socket won't fit between bolt and mounting bracket, have to find a big vise somewhere to hold the caliper while I loosen the bolts with a long breaker bar.
