Rear Caliper Rebuild: Anyone tried it?

My rear calipers are sticky, and will drag if the ebrake is used (which doesn't work v well anyhow).
Anyone tried pulling 'em apart, cleaning, and putting in seal kits?
Seems like I remember having to do this on my old Audi 200 years ago. Same type of %&$@#% lucas/girling mech e brake calipers, as I recall
Autohaus has the seal kits ($5 both sides!). Anyone tried it?

The seal kits are just for the sliding mounting pins and the caliper piston - dust and fluid seal. The real culprit is the internal e-brake adjuster bits.
I don't know if anyone has gotten into them that far. Not me. I'd love to hear if you figure it out, The rebuilds aren't cheap. PS, you need to rotate and depress the pistons to retract them. Harbor Freight has an inexpensive kit that performs this function.
Goo luck
