Now that I got your attention... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I noticed that my rear brake calipers have both an upper and a lower bleed nipple like the fronts. Does this mean a PO put front calipers on the rear?
I also noticed the P-brake isn't connected either, which I think is another indication.
I am going to order the rebuild kits, but I want to know if I should order 4 front kits.
Where should I get the kits from and how much are they?
Any info is appreciated...

Thanks guys for the help and lols!!!
I was wondering what crazy posts my message would bring out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Here's an update...
I do have the E-brake arm on the bottom of the calipers on the rear, so I guess they are true rear calipers, even if they do have an upper and a lower nipple - correct?
Today, I took both rears off and split them, removed the pistons (pretty grungy).
I'm very sure there were completley seized up. I am going to order the rebuild kits online tonight. Do I clean everything up with brake cleaner only?
Thanks again for all the help.
