I've always said that it was best to rebuild rather than buy new ones, but that 
it was a difficult job. I can do them for you and my price is absurdly low 
considering the amount of work that it takes. I make MUCH better money 
doing master cylinders and wheel cylinders.

The only reason I charge so little is that the replacements are so cheap that 
no one would rebuild if I charged what it was worth, then all the good OE 
calipers would disappear and never be seen again. The OE calipers were 
better; they are worth rebuilding, but they take time, patience, skill, and tools 
to get them apart and back together right.

I charge $45 per caliper for the rebuild.
