[WPTA] front brake replacement

[dharkus at aol.com]

The pads are wore because the caliper is sticking so I would rebuild or have Team Triumph send rebuilt one or new Don

I discovered the front brake pads for my TR6 are completely worn out (hence the squeal :-) and have decided to replace pads and rotors (although these look new), and potentially add stainless steel hoses. The bearings look great (likely recent replacements). I'm going with slotted TRW rotors to see if there is any improvement, though the brakes worked great even as the pads were low.
Does anyone have a local supplier of the dust caps (both the outer cap and the inner bearing cap)? I've already ordered the main replacement parts and probably should have taken everything apart first to limit the astronomical cost of shipping separately.
I am also on the fence about rebuilding the calipers as they look to be in good condition. If I do disconnect the brake lines to replace the hoses or rebuild, any techniques for evacuating the fluid and thoughts about best brake fluid to use is appreciated.
