Xantia Leaking Front Caliper

Hi,
I have a LHM leak from one of my front brake calipers.
It's actually leaking from around the handbrake actuating arm (i.e. where the arm comes out from the caliper body).
Does anyone know whether it's possible / feasible to strip the caliper and replace the seal(s) and, if so, whether AS sell the relevant parts?
The caliper is in good condition apart from that!
Thanks,
Stuart.

Stuart -
Unless something seriously has happened to the caliper - it can be overhauled w/ a repair kit.
These kits contains the rubber seals & parts for the caliper - including the handbrake actuator rod O-ring seal.
Contact your nearest GSF dealer for availability of these kits.

Oh yes :
To be sure you have future safe & even brake operation - do BOTH calipers !!

Anders,
Thanks for the reply - Unfortunately, it looks like you can't get a repair kit for the Xantia.
Oh well, it looks like it's time to spend some money!
Cheers,
Stuart.
