[QUOTE="Tofufi, post: 475774, member: 38"] Personally, I'd dismantle them all, and use whichever bits are the best condition (assuming they are all the early bay calipers rather than lates). Late caliper pistons will fit into early calipers, but are longer and won't permit fitting of new pads. If possible, keep one with two bleed nipples to rebuild as a spare, then you can swap it onto your van readily whichever side is needed in future. :) [/QUOTE]
