A production rebuilder may be able to, but the piston will need to be replaced.  It's worth finding out, I have all my calipers done by Goldline Brakes, and have for 40 years. http://www.goldlinebrakes.com/

Hi all.


An image of one spare Girling or ATE early Vanagon caliper:

It looks like someone beat the part with a hammer! Am I wrong?


Pistons on each caliper will move inward but each has plenty of rust.


Thanks


Neil.
