I have read on some old posts that i can buy a replacement caliper seal pack...wold thins be recomended over buying a new caliper? mine has been leaking brake fluid for a while now.

 

Depends on how the piston looks. Alot of the time the caliper repair kit will do the job.

 

Anything i should look for to determine if i shouls go repair kit or new caliper?

 

Rebuilding a caliper is a pain in the but..

just buy a remanufactured one and save yourself the trouble

Thats the thing...they arent that much for a reman. just thought i would post the question for some feedback

 

I dont get how rebuilding a caliper is a pain ??
You remove it, drain the fluid, remove piston and replace the seals. Easy.

I would certainly try a reseal kit before I got a new caliper

 

much easier to go to the store, buy remuf. and install.

no cussing at stuck piston. or boots that keep popping out, or not going in,

there is a value of time spent of rebuilding.

Plus if the piston/bore is scored or jacked up..you need to replace anyways..


just not worth the time

 

and where might one find a seal kit, other than the dealer? (online)
