nope, when i had to turn my piston back clockwise while pushing in, my driver side was hard-to-turn... seized caliper...

trip to the autozone for lifetime warranty one did the trick.

I also have spare rebuild kits that comes w/ a square cut seal & dustboot, but they're just sitting in a shelf collecting dust.
