Hi all. Was hoping someone has had some expirience re-building calipers. I have rebuilt drum brake cylinders but never a caliper. I am assuming I need a brake hone, seal kit to accomplish this. I was going to remove caliper and see if i could use air pressure to eject the piston Yes/no? Normally I would just buy a new one, but I am currently unemployed and have the time to do a rebuild. The cost seems to be 80-90 bucks for a rebuilt caliper VS 11 bucks for a kit to rebuild. Any insight or info would be greatly appreciated. ( this is my girl friends car, these SNAFUS are getting her itching for a TDI........LoL.)
