Thanks jim. I've jumped to that conclusion now. Appreciate your opinion too. NAPA doesn't carry
rebuild kits - just rebuilt units. So to save me time & effort I'm going to replace both front.

Sounds like we are in the same boat..see my thread about 92 accord
brake calipers...which version do you have, are the caliper pins bolts
that thread directly into the caliper ears (US model) or are the
caliper ears regualr holes and a small bolt threads into the caliper
pin? (Japan version). I seem to have the Japan version on my USA
built Accord???
