Not for your caliper but a handy well illustrated guide:

Brake Calipers, Brake Discs, Brake Fluid, Brake Kits, Pads, Clutches from AP Racing

Got the service kit from Camskill in the end, 27.50 + 3quid pnp, arrived this morning so i set about fitting it, clamped the brake hose, removed the caliper, dismantled it and could see the sticky psiton had a lot of dry rusty deposits behind the dust cover boot. I removed and cleaned it all thoroughly, fitted the new seals, popped the pistons back in, re attached to the car, bled and hey presto, i have working brakes again!!

Not too bad at all!

Glad you sorted it ok.

Your local Subaru dealer might be able to offer you a good price on bits like that too.
