The -87 front calipers have a E-brake lever that sits out on the front. The E-brake lever pivot shaft is is sealed from corruption by two o-rings. If the o-rings get worn the shaft can get crud inside and the E-brake starts to stick. I imagine it can be a royal pain in salt country. The rebuild kit used to be cheap, available and not too difficult to install. What I see listed on eEuro doesn't appear to have the needed 3 o-rings per caliper. It also helps to have the caliper piston adjusting tool. I've gotten by for years with a Park bicycle tool. Works but not as slick as the Saab tool.
