Anybody rebuild the brembo calipers on a 2000 base 2.7 manual? I can’t find the o rings. Only dust caps that say they don’t need o rings, they are supposed to be 1 piece now. Sounds scary to me.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If its a 1-piece, it means theres the O-ring for the piston, which is square in shape on a cutaway, and may be attached to the boot, but shouldn't be. Give the cost of rebuilt and used calipers, rebuilding them isn't cost effective anymore, given what you'll pay for new seals, the correct rebuilding grease if you don't have it. I've done them before myself, and you'll want some soft plastic tools to play with the boots sometimes, I like shin-etsu rubber softener, allows rubber to be pretty pliable.
