Harry,
I thought of doing that, but Murphy's law is always hot on my tail. I figured I'd get it all out of round too. I tried using the bench grinder on the caliper but I could not get it close enough inside. So I ended up putting the caliper in the vise and using a die grinder. The pain was getting the piston protected from the filings. It took a couple times testing it, but there is no rubbing now.

I should also say that before I pulled the wheel, I gave it a few good vertical pulls to be sure the bearing was good.
