EDIT: I can't find any pics online so if i have time tomorrow i may hit the junk yard and buy a caliper and tear it apart and take some pics to post so everyone can see how they work.

hell if you can find a few sets.. you could make yourself some money...

you can buy them from napa.... they charge you a core if you dont have any... but even the replacements dont come with the springs or levers!!!!! so they are hard to find!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like he was trying to find a common caliper of the same style, not the coveted eldo calipers in whatever year. I'm sure scott would pick them up and sell them if he found some though!

I've never been able to do that - none of the tools available on common autoparts stores fit either of my two pairs of calipers , and I haven't been successful to use pliers as described in the ClassicBroncos article.
However, if you take the lever off, you can simply press the piston in, just make sure the lever base can rotate freely.

I used to do it this way until i finally decided to just buy the proper tool for the job.

The "universal" tool is WAAAY too small. The required tool is KD 41540, this is a complete kit but the actual piece is (#41542 2 1/2" puck with single pin).
