Can a Rear Caliper be Rebuilt???

My rear passenger caliper is sticking causing my rotors to warp. I see that all the rebuild kits are for front calipers.

Can I rebuild it, or do I have to buy a new one?

Yes, the rebuild kits work for the front and the back calipers. You need two for each front caliper and one for each rear caliper.
