I'm going to try and do it without splitting the caliper if I can - I'll re-attach the brake hose and use that to pressurise the caliper. Then, clamp on piston and force the other out, clean up that side, replace everything, then swap the clamp around and do the other side

Hopefully the fronts will be ok and won't require quite so much work.
Edit: For the seals, am I right in saying the kit is one per piston, not one per caliper... if so this is expensive
The gasket isn't available, there was a Foxeye in Twist ad Go (local bike shop) a few weeks back, and the mechanic spent a good 45 minutes looking for the right part.
