ok, i need to replace my left and right rear calipers on saturday.  got
good rebuilds from mark at adirondack-thanks mark.  got the bentley, and
picked up good tips on recent postings (12mm allen key, flare nut wrench
set - thanks jason and ian).  i'm keeping the rotors and pads, as they
are in good shape.
what's this about the bearings?  yikes!  if i'm just doing the caliper
swap, do i need to worry about this?
any help on changing rear calipers (only) is appreciated.
