I just did mine earlier this summer on my '73. I got my rebuilt kit from (not sure if I'm allowed to do this) from cssbinc (corvette stainless steel brakes, inc). On website they have an instructional pdf which you can print off. It's fairly straightforward and not difficult. Hardest part was removing from car. After that, pretty easy. Mine worked out well. No leaks!!
