Honestly, you would be better to just get some good used calipers, or send them out to get rebuilt. Because they will prolly end up leaking again in like a year...

go to aap and ask for rebuilt calipers. There like $50+core for 1pots. the rebuild kits are at least $20/caliper anyhow...

I've heard the rear calipers are tricky because of the e-brake mechanism in them. I'd reccomend buying rebiuilt ones also, theyre not that expensive.

I would just go buy rebuilds for the rear. I tried to tackel the rebuilding the rears. But there is a snap ring that is deep in the bore that needs to come out to do a COMPLETE rebuild. I decided to just do the piston seal and the piston dust boot in my rebuild. It works and doesn't leak.

But in the future I would just buy rebuilt rear calipers.

However, in the front just rebuild those your self. It will take a few hours but you will save money in the long run!

How did you rebuild the parking brake portion of the rear caliper. How did you take it apart?

I was going to remove the snap ring and then it should all come out. But I didn't do that.

How did you remove the parking brake portion of the rear caliper? Just wondering which way you went about it.
