I've rebuilt the rear calipers on my 5K

Even though I have a 5KCSTQ, my rear brakes are 200 10V. (larger piston)

I think your 20V is the same as an avant rear caliper and they are very similar to the 10V version.

Rebuilding is fairly straight forward. Most of the "rebuilt" units that are sold online are not rebuilt properly. They usually don't replace the seal on the parking brake mechanism. This is what prompted me to rebuild my own. Plus I use much better grease and more of it.

The only place I've found that sells the proper seal kit that includes ALL seals is in the link. I've ordered from them with no problems even though they are in the UK.
