Ok thanks. Both sides, never had any issues. I push them back a little and they leak all over. Am I not supposed to force them back like you do with the front calipers?
You're in there already, might as well replace them. If the dust boots are full of fluid, the seals are toast.
Doesn't hurt to replace the hard line to the cylinder, either. Half the time the flare nut seizes to the line and it twists into a pretzel when you go to remove it.

Have my 62 road worthy again!
Aside from a whole bunch of new gaskets, filters, fluids, breaks, knuckle job etc.
I installed some sound deadening. A layer of Kilmat with a 1 cm closed cel foam mat on top of that. I did the same with the doors, what a difference that makes! incredible.
In the radio bracket I installed below, so I can keep an eye on the transmission temp and have some power ports.
Music will just come through my phone and connect to a speaker over Bluetooth. How neat is that.
Back on the road!
