autozone sells a rebuild kit. I did that and put on new pads in the rear and it brakes like no other

i really didnt think it was needed, but the kit included the H thingy, rubber slide seals, and other misc stuff. Nothing major. Like i said, it wasnt needed. All it really needed was new pads but i did the "rebuild" for the hell of it.

GM sells rebuild kits for all their calipers. They were about $14 for a C5 we did recently. The shop manual tells you the procedure.

Buy new copper washers (for the banjo bolts) also.
