Getting the new calipers was probably a good long-term maintenance solution
anyway, it's just that the $$$ hit may not have been what you wanted at that
time.
Going forward, just keep the system flushed on occasion, and also use
dielectric grease on the slider pins when you do the flush, and those new
calipers should last a long time.

Hmmm...well...guess I've learned a few more lessons
today.
#1 Always make sure to completely explain yourself
#2 Never rant and rave when you're tired and can't
really see the screen and the keyboard
#3 Thinking that Chilton's isn't exactly the most
complete manual
#4 Should ask a professional like Porter
We did eventually get one piston in, after rotating
it. But the damage was already done; we had the new
calipers. And the seals on those calipers in back were
shot. I'm thinking that we had original factory
calipers on the rear. 190k...wow... Sorry I didn't
mention that. After having half a dozen emails telling
me I was and idiot for not knowing the pistons have to
be rotated to get them in, I'd figured I should've
mentioned that. I did have the relief valves open when
I pushed the on the pistons (the front ones looked
pretty new and moved rather easily). I DID completely
flush out the system, twice as a matter of fact. Once
on purpose, the other, well...yeah... Lets
see...whatelse do I mention... Aw yes, I love my car,
I love my car, oh, and I love my car.
Ok, well, headed back to school. 2 hr drive or so.
Should be enough time to see if the new ones work or
not. More later..
