I don't know if I'd go with new piston, seals, pads, and clips, or just chunk it all and do a whole caliper assembly.Rotor needs to be measured every which way from Sunday, too! Thickness, runout, warpage . . . . .
You grew up on a farm huh. Work with whach'ya got.
Look at the caliper and piston, they are chowed in IMO. The piston has a lot of meat missing, it's not flat any more due to partial piston radius contact to the rotor, the heating of that piston to discoloration can't be good. The caliper is chowed too, meat missing, not flat contact to pad, etc. Don't take a chance with critical parts that may save your life. Maybe get a used brake caliper with piston from ebay or something, and get new pads etc. Replace the rotor too, again maybe go used. I'd even replace the brake line just to be sure no contamination got back in there.

Just sayin' ;)

PWI, Bust?

Maybe not, you spelled 'thesaurus' right. :p

As for my suggestion, my choice was new everything except caliper (that was the list) or the whole assembly. I wasn't listing pieces that might be replaced, I was listing pieces that better be replaced. the only choice is does the caliper itself stay, and that's only if it cleans up real good.
