Did a quick search and couldn’t find anything.

Has anyone rebuilt their calipers?

Only reason I ask is I could get a reman for $30 or rebuild it myself for $8.

Any tips?

Thanks

Nothing to it, but before buying a kit need to take it apart and see if it's rebuildable first, any corrosion on the sealing areas and they're junk..
