Solorider, please don't cut corners where your brakes are concerned. It wouldn't surprise me if when you take the pads out, the pad material simply falls off the backing plates. I have seen this happen before. OK, obviously you're going to change the pads, but personally I would replace pistons and seals too (if the caliper itself cleans up OK). Tmations idea of getting a decent 2nd hand caliper is a good one if replacing parts on yours is too expensive. But for Gods sake, don't take risks where your brakes are concerned.
