Car on the ground with new rear springs. Lucky I had read to cut 1/2 a coil off the Moog rear spring before I installed them.

Removed the rear brakes yesterday. The drivers side rotor was very hard to remove. Had to use PB Blaster,rubber mallet, ball pean hammer and pry bar to get it off.

Calipers old dust boot rubber had separated from its metal ring and the ring was stuck in the seal mounting area. Metal ring looked just like part of the caliper casting making the new seal not fit. Got it out and finished the caliper rebuild.
