82k, but I bought the car with 50k seals were good back then...track days beat your calipers up mine all dark dark black

I hate UPS, I got my seals sent overnight, even though I should have gotten it the next day anyway with ground...and they some how managed to loose my package...so I'm out of my track day today :-(

I see it is too late already, but for the next guy that is looking for the seals you can get the kit for the fronts here:

https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/oe_parts_cat.html Search for part "26297FE010"

When I bought it, the $65 kit had enough seals for both right and left calipers. I would suggest calling to double check that this is still true.

Its real easy to rebuild just everyone says and compressed air but do not put max air pressure all at once start low and work your way up until two on one side pop out. Then take off the crossover line and put air in until the other two come out. Make sure you put something in there to keep them from damaging themselves or the caliper. I used a small piece of wood. The dust covers will come off with them or you can remove them before with a dental pick type tool. Then just clean everything off change the oil rings and dust covers and slide them back in. I used the same small piece of wood and cclamp and slowly pushed them in on both sides. Easy then when took them apart I replaced the oring between the two halves also and had them powdercoated blue. You can get the kits from a good mitsu dealership (one dealership said you cant get them without ordering the whole caliper I have bought several kits only from the same good parts guy in alaska but they closed that dealership) or GiRoDisc or even some people have the kits for sale on here.

after looking at how they fit i guess just the non brembo dust boots are what appear to be slightly to big....

What are you guys doing to replace the seals? are you taking the caliper apart (splitting it in 2)
I can't seem to get mine out.

So I think I'm good to go...got the seals in but the dust boots aren't sitting flush ...I'm guessing is not a big deal?

Mine would not sit flush as well. Put em on 10k miles ago and still no issues.

Cool, Hopefully everything goes back to working order or i May have to just end of my life

I'm waiting on a new brake line to come in....before I found out I needed new seals my caliper was sitting unbolted on top of my rotor...some time after I stopped working on the car it fell off and stretch out the SS brake line...the damage wasn't obvious so i didn't notice until i went to re-install the caliper :-/


I've had so much bad luck lately...makes me wonder whats next

Thanks for all the help

I'll post up when everything is working
