If you don't have the experience to be able to 'read the entrails' after
you've popped the piston, you might be better off going with a rebuilt
caliper, or even better, two.  If one caliper is sticking, the other won't
be far behind.

Do yourself a favour and get two rebuilt calipers from a parts place that
will send you the right version for your van.  If you get ATE and need
Girling and find that out AFTER you've committed, you'l be swearing!  :)
