Tips for rebuilding calipers.
It is time to rebuild my calipers.
I need some info:
1.) Does anyone sell a rebuild kit or do I have to buy the parts individually?
2.) Tips and or advice?

My neighbor,who is also a mechanic,rebuilds peoples calipers when he does their cars at home for side money.The caliper rebuild kits can be found at most popular auto parts stores,like napa and others.However,you prob need to rehone the piston cylinder walls and also,if you have aluminum calipers,it may be even tricker to get it to seal right.
The kits he bought cost about 5 or 6 bucks...shop around.
