Oh.
Sorry, I just woke up and thought it was about an SVX. I'll just quietly leave now, no need for bouncers.

Re: this happened
When you say rebuild, shouldn't you change the boots too?

Re: this happened
short term you should be ok but long term you may get water and dirt inside the boot. most of the calipers i replace are bad because of water getting into the dust boot and causing it to seize or leak. the water gets in easily but stays in there for a long time.
