If anyone's interested I can post a guide for this process, including photos and part numbers.
MatthewH - Are you saying then that the problem was just the piston, and the new seals fixed the issue? was that the original symptom, that the caliper wouldn't move in or out?

I wonder if that was the issue with the replacement which you purchased too?

Out of interest, what led you to try the seals? was it self diagnosis??
