Rebuilding Calipers...How To or Whats Involved? I am taking my calipers off this weekend to chromed (calipers, brackets and backing plates.) I have to completely disassemble the calipers and then of course put them back together so I pretty much have to rebuild them...is there a walk through anywhere to give me an idea of whats involved??? I am sure I can figure it out but its always helpful to have a guide to go by.
Also does anybody have a part number or a good place to order the rebuild kits from?

Welcome.
Just make sure like stated on the site, when rebuilding them make sure not to get any foreign particles on the pistons, or seals and inside the piston wells. It can contaminate your whole brake system. Do a good job cleaning all those parts when reinstalling them. There should only be brake fluid on everything.
