Anyone went through a caliper overhaulin'? Not necessarely on a celica as they are pretty much the same for all car...
I read its possible to do one without a kit is the rubbers are not damaged..basicly just brushing/lubbing the sliders and the cylinder (if seized).. any input??? --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

QUOTE My main concern is that If I undergo the repair myself and realize I need a new cylinder that it might cost as much to get the cylinder and repair / hardware kit than the whole caliper, which is too expensive both ways really... Frow what I've seen, it almost always ends up being cheaper and easier to just buy rebuilt calipers if you are having problems. Look for ones with lifetime warranty. If yours aren't leaking or sticking, they shouldn't need to be rebuilt. It is fairly rare to have problems with the pistons/seals.
