Ok, I was trying to get an idea of whether or not I should just replace 
rather than rebuild. It looks like it will be about the same amount of money either 
way. I'll have to think about that though, as I'm leaning more toward new 
parts for the braking system, as I don't want to have to go back in there for a 
while.

This isn't a problem on mine. The PO already did this, so I'm outta luck. :(  
Thanks.
