Chester, When I bought this current coach, the calipers were frozen to the pins and the passenger drive seal was leaking. To change the seal the caliper must be removed. That is a pretty daunting task as the bolts are 20MM, tightened to 340ftlb and sealed with "locktite". I had to make some tooling and along with hydraulic power and heat, the bolts broke loose.
I bought rebuilt calipers from Belgium truck technology for the drives and parts to replace the slide pins on the tag. They were about $380 each for the calipers but the freight is pretty salty. It was still cheaper that Bendix in the USA. My brakes are Knorr Bremese.
Hope this helps!
