rebuilding non-brembo caliper
I've been searching and searching for DIY of how to rebuild 06 (dual pistons) non-brembo brake calipers, and i could not find a single DIY..
The reason why i think i need to rebuild my calipers:
MPG has dropped down significantly.
It's hard to turn the front wheels by hand when they are off the ground.
I smell something burning after driving.
One of the piston seals was busted.
I will replace the sliding pins as well.
Please help me figure out how to do this DIY

it requires more work than i thought.. I didn't know that you need an air compressor to do this. Also caliper disconnected from the hose.
If my problem is the sliding pin, then will new sliding pin fix the problem without replacing rotors and pads? They probably have uneven wear if the brake pads have been dragging all this long.

Because there is no leakage, rebuild is not necessary?

Dragging doesn't mean the caliper needs to be rebuilt. It could be the slide pins dragging, the pads could be dragging in their slots. But I suspect that if you look at the caliper, one side of the rotor and one pad will be really worn. This would indicate that floating nature of the caliper isn't functioning. That points to the slide pins IMHO. Especially if their dust boots are torn etc...

You could just order a reman from RockAuto for like 150 bucks if I remember correct. You then send them back your old caliper all parts included and they give you a 60-70 dollar core back. That's what I did with my front passenger caliper it was seizing and causing a hit in my MPG as well.
If you go that route paint the new calipers with some rustproof paint. They come painted, but it isn't rust proofed, lol. Ask me how I know....
A lot easier and faster then rebuilding a whole caliper.

i've experienced the rubber piece on the sliding pin swelling up before. Perhaps this lube might be the cause...http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=826455_0_0_
So im planning to get this one instead. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...ier=10772_0_0_
