I bought a set of 4 pots a long time ago, but never got around to installing it... its been sitting there for a while now... is it a good idea to rebuild it? All the rubbers and everything seem to be fine. but i just wanted a 2nd opionion

thanks

I would, unless you plugged up the holes, you never know what kind of goop you have inside the calipers.

They won't wear out just sitting there. If rubber is not deteriorated, then no need to rebuild.

rebuild them, if you got them used they will need it later down the road anyways so do it now while they are off the car and save the headache of having to pull them back off the car when they need it.
