    I've noticed that the rubber dust seals surrounding the pistons in the brake
    calipers are falling apart and probably should be replaced. How difficult is
    this? Can I just pull out the old ones and press the new ones into place
    easily? I replaced similar dust seals on an old '79 Toyota, and it was
    difficult, since they were held in place by little metal rings. These don't
    look so difficult, but I really don't want to get into something that will
    require tearing the calipers apart, especially since the brakes are working
    OK. Looks like the kits will run about $40 total...
