Just come inside from doing mine, its a fiddly job to do but much cheaper than new calipers.
The parts are available from Jimnybits or Biggred.co.uk

Cleaning and re-fitting just 1 caliper was about an hour. Then waited for my assistant to come home to do the honours of jumping on the brake pedal.
I'm a commercial brake tester engineer for a leading garage equipment company and super fussy when it comes to brakes! But have never stripped a caliper until now.
