    gm part number 5466562 --this should be the piston seal and the square profile O ring that fits into the bore of the caliper.

    www.gmpartsdirect.com--$8.69 per wheel.


    However, I think it is more cost effective to just buy rebuilt calipers from NAPA.

    That's just crazy!!!!! Isn't that the same caliper on every GM RWD car made since 1969?

    if you are cleaning up your calipers and painting them then take note---do not paint the small circular area where the crush washer (for the brake line) meets the body of the caliper---this needs to be clean bare steel for a good seal on the crush washer. Patton

    I got a pair of seal kits from Advance Auto Parts. Believe it or not, they have a lot of parts for our cars. I got a reman master cyl and booster for just under $100. The brand name was Cardone which is what Napa sells for $130. They also had Cardone reman loaded calipers for around $50 ea. I got all my brake lines there too.
