Split the calipers and installed new seals today. The bolts broke
free at 35 foot-pounds and the calipers separated easily. The
existing seals seemed fine; I could roll them up between my fingers
and they returned to their shape. The bolts did not have locknuts,
washers or any sign of thread locking material. The entire process
took about 25 minutes from start to finish. I had previously cleaned
them though.
