Rebuilding brake calipers

[white4d96]

Both my back brake calipers are sticking up a storm so I am going to try and rebuild them. I found the kits for cheap at an O'Reilly's near me, but I have no clue how to do this (plan on picking up kits tomorrow.) What tools do I need and how do I do it?

U need a caliper 3/8 drive wrench bit

[white4d96]

One of those little $8 parts-store jobs do the trick?

Just guessing, I unscrew the piston (after I disconnect the caliper and all that jazz), pop the seals off, clean everything, pop new seals in and screw the piston back in?

Yup but when u hook every thing bake up make sure u bleed the breakes best way is to buy a 30 dallor break bleeder it's worth it

[white4d96]

I can bleed the brakes pretty easy. I typically make a bleeder on the spot with a water bottle and some hose.

Actually now may be a good time to change my brake fluid too.

[killallblue]

Yeah now would be the best time

U can paint the caliper while it's out to

[white4d96]

Meh, then I'd wanna do the fronts too and that's just too much work. Besides, can't really see them through the wheels (stock steelies FTL)

[killallblue]

O I thought u might be able to see them like on my stock blazer rims when I re did my breaks I painted all mine flat black

Some members of a GP forum said I should just buy remanufactured calipers with a warranty because they go out frequently. Anyone else had this issue with these cars?
