This came in the mail today. Overnight parts from Japan! Well not quite overnight.
The left front brake stuck recently, one of the piston boots was torn, and I think it was bunching up against the piston because when I pulled it away the brake worked fine. The boots have a tapered edge that fits into a slot and can apparently be easily removed without removing the piston, so I thought I'd give it a try as the front calipers are only 4 years old so I'd rather now throw them away. I also ordered new slider pin boots as they're easy enough to change while in there.
