I don't know for sure, but if I were going to do it, I'd probably just use the same procedure.

Did you use www.installuniversity.com?

Do Autozone carry a similar kit or do I have to go through the dealer?

I just rebuilt all my calipers today. The rears go together the same as the front. #12530687 is for the rears. Unlike the front you only need 1 kit for each caliper. It was really easy to do and didn't take long

I have been trying to find those little ***** everywhere and the only place that has them is the dealership! And they are expensive as heck, $112 for the whole kit, and that is with a military discount!!

For the caliper rebuild kits? You got ripped if you spent that much. I spent a lot less for the rebuilt kits for all 4 calipers. I can't remember exactly but I think it was around $60
