Where on the caliper are there boots?
Are you talking about the ones that cover the bolts that hold it on?

I assume he is talking about the rubber boots that cover the pistons that push the pads. They are part of the caliper I think.

Thats what I am trying to find out.
If that is the case there is no replacement other than a new caliper.

???? so is it possible? I found the calipers for $56 with a core deposit of $50 each but would rather not have to mess with the system. (bleeding)

Sure there are posts about people rebuilding their calipers. You have to remove the calipers either way though I believe.
