COOKED Rear Right Beak

[gregb1]

Hi All,
Cooked my R rear brake today on 05 KJ CRD.
The inner pad is cracked through the middle, thats obvious just replace them.
The rubber seal around the piston has split/burnt through in one section.

Does that mean the the caliper is stuffed? There is no sign of any fluid leakage or other obvious damage. The rotor appears to still be in balance, but signs of excess heat.
Would there be any other damage to rear end, diff seals etc?

Where can I get a new caliper ASAP, if required OR are kits available to overhaul them??

Thanks for the advice.

Additional Question???????????????????????
Are the calipers on an 2006 KJ SPORT 3.7L AUTO same as the 05 Limited 2.8 Diesel?

Well I was fortunate enough to get a caliper kit for $18 and install it, thanks to the Ehow website for some simple video's on how to do things I was able to strip and rebuild it myself, something I have never done before, it was actually quite easy. My caliper piston was seized solid, so after a good soaking with penetrine I got it out and cleaned it, saved about $300 on getting a new caliper.

Nice one, well done!
Its a good feeling when you save yourself some cash and learn something in the process.
Not sure i'd trust myself when it comes to brakes!
