I got the rear calipers rebuilt, and I'm waiting for the wife to get home so I can go rent the piston retracting tool. One went in no problem, the other is stuck about halfway, so instead of fighing with it, I decided to wait. I also need more brake fluid. I though I had enough, but appearantly I didn't, so I'll pick up some more of that as well. Then, throw it all back together, and cross my fingers that the leaks have stopped. If not, looks like I'll just have to buy some new ones, which I really don't want to do.

Thanks for the advice from before. It is a fairly straightforward job once I figured out what I was doing without any good diagrams. The second caliper only took about an hour, compared to the first, which took a few hours...

So, if we could all collectively hold our breath, maybe, just maybe, they won't leak!

 

Complete failure... they leak worse now that before. Now, the car is not drivable until I replace the calipers. Great waste of a day and a half...

 

geeze umm try maby shokan.com or call some junk yards

 

dude that sucks, there's nothing worse than trying to save a couple of bucks and everything goes to ****. Like Andrew said, try Shokan for a deal.

 

I never have luck with rebuilding.. either they leak or stick... clean, clean, clean is the moto.

 

The job itself was pretty easy once I got into it, but damn it all if I don't have a huge puddle of brake fluid under my car!
