are the brakes for you 83R? If so I can rebuild the whole braking system for that, front and rear caliper and master cylinder. If you think you can trust me I will do it for you

Sometimes the hardest part abot rebuilding brakes is simply getting them apart. All the pins get seized in the aluminum and it's hard to get them apart without damaging anything. You have to make some jigs up to get things pressed apart. I get everything spotless and use 600 grit cloth to smooth things out after lightly honing the master and caliper piston bores. I use a dremel with a wire wheel to get the bore where the seals rest cleaned up. As long as the pistons are not scored and that they are in spec then your all set. The most frustrating part is getting them properly bled when your done. Don't make it harder than it is, it's simply fluid pushing something out, thats it - don't give up, you can do it!
