You mean you don't rebuild your brake calipers?

For my money, and my sanity, I want my brake calipers rebuilt on any car over 15 years of age! Unfortunately while trying to order Girling Rear Kits I found out that very few people do this anymore! Most people don't rebuild them, they replace them with other used one's or new one's....
Have you ever opened up a 15 year old set of calipers? Did you see the muck and corrosion and dried up rubber on them and the fact they are good candidates for seizure?
Rebuild kits cost less than 20 to $30.00. Maybe tonite I will post a FAQ on rebuilding my ATE's but its so easy to rebuild them, its not funny or necessary. Just use compressed air to blow them out and Premium Brake Fluid to rebuild them!
