rebuilding brake calipers

Has anyone ever rebuilt their brake calipers? Is there a good write-pu anywhere on the net? Does anyone sell a kit to do this?

You can buy rebuild kits at any auto parts store. I don't know of a write-up, but it is not that hard, unless the pistons are frozen. You can find generic rebuild info in a manual.

I did my rear calipers cause they were all trashed from the dragstrip before I had a line lock. Directions came with the kits. Fronts are very easy, rears are quite a bit harder because of the e-brake stuff.
