I want to powder coat a set of f-body calipers I am going to purchase a reman set. Since I have to take them apart to powder coat, and since they will be new can I resuse the seals and boots and all or once I take them apart must I buy new ones?

Thanks guys
 


you should just try to find used, cause im pretty sure if you take them apart you'll want to install new seals, looks very easy to rebuild too. you need a air compressor, thats it really.

the dust boots can be reused for sure, the question really is will the seal take being taken apart then put back in? being that your are rebuilding them anyway, im back to used lol

Yeah thats what I was woried about can the seal take it but I can't find used anywhere cheap they want like 35. 00 and I can get reman raybestos or Wagner for 42.00 that's what I was looking at reman wait asec if the boots can be reused then I just need the seals and they should be cheap enough yep got a 40 gallon compressor so I am set
 


In auto mechanics class we used to rebuild calipers reusing the same rebuild kit time and time again and it looked ok.
