[QUOTE="yellow95, post: 2364422, member: 29174"] I just rebuilt a set. The rebuild kit cost me $12.99 each side from Advance Auto. The boots are pretty important. If you get enough dust inside the boot and into the piston cylinder it will eventually score the walls of the cylinder. The caliper will be trash then, as the seals will not hold the brake fluid. All you do is pop the pistons out with air, and take out eh old seals and pistons. Then slip in the new seals. The trick is getting a second pair of hands to push the bottom of the boot in between the cylinder wall and the piston as you push the piston back in. Very easy and too cheap to ignore and possible ruin a caliper. Gary [/QUOTE]
