I removed the wrong bolts when removing my brake calipers on my '70 B. 
(Just one side!) I figured that out when brake fluid started oozing
out.

I read through my manuals on checking them, haven't done it yet.  I am
guessing the calipers are 32 years old, though I have no way of
telling.  I am considering replacing them, though I have had no trouble
with them.  If the surfaces are still smooth and show no damage, should
I worry?  Do they wear and yet remain smooth? How about rebuilding
them?  I know moss says not to bother with the clutch master... 

They are about $100/each for rebuilt ones, so they aren't free, but at
the same time, failed brakes cost much more.

Thanks for considering it with me...  

It is good to work on my car again.
