I guess it might be possible, but I'd agree with Wayne.  They are not
likely to be new.

BTW, remanufactured calipers are for all intents and purposes new.  The
only things that they reuse are the castings and the piston (and torque
member for loaded).  The castings are completely cleaned, and often coated,
and I'm sure the better remanufacturers magnaflux the castings as well.

Consider remanufactured calipers from a quality supplier (Wagner, A1
Cardone, Raybestos, and a few more) to be new.
