OK, so i bought some prelude vtec calipers off a 97, i want to rebiuld them, whats the cost going to be, and what parts do i have to replace? is it hard to rebiuld them?

 

search is was covered not too long ago.

 

Honda sells a rebuild kit and it will come with everything you need. Heres how the rebuild kit looks, for ITR calipers;


I also went ahead and replaced all related bolts, pins, and retainers;


I replaced just about everything and it cost me a bit more than $200 but if you just by the rebuild kit it will be a lot cheeper.

So far I have disassembled the front calipers which was really easy and i don't think it will be that hard to re-assemble (I haven't done it yet). But check this link out which explains and shows you everything.

does anyone trust the rebuilt calipers you get from autozone? i mean they are only like 50 bucks a piece...

 

just searched some more and found all the info i needed, sorry for the useless post. but how much do you think the rebiuld kit cost, i would need it for all 4, front and rear?

 

do the rebuild kits also come with new pistions? or just all the seals

Did you even look at my first post.

This is what the rebuild kit comes with

No pistons

The fronts were roughly $20 a side. I believe the rears are around the same price.

The ones at PartSource here in Ontario (autozone in US) , they are rebuild, with new seals, etc and come semi-loaded, meaning they come with the caliper bracket even, all the nuts/bolts, washers, pins, etc, everything included and ready to install. You might ask if these are any good?? well yes, cause they are original honda calipers, just redone and made to look like new. Price is around $110CDN for one ITR caliper. I think this is a much easier and better way to do it, rather than buyin all the separate peices from honda and doint it yourself.

 

rebuilding a caliper is a straight forward job, the most difficult part is installing the rubber boot on to the piston without tearing it
