    It's not really worth the time and effort and parts search to rebuild f body calipers for the price you can buy remans for.
    But if you really want to here's a link for a good how to. www.InstallUniversity.com

    id buy from JY, take them apart, get them power coated, then rebuild them. rebuilding them looks easy.

    I just did a parts check here if I have to replace pins $8.99 (pair) and boots 12.69 (all four) plus the calipers from the yard 17.92 (pr) caliper brackets 4.98 (pair) for a total of $44.58 remans come to $107.98 (pair with bracket) I dunno it seem like you are getting one for free and then some unless the rebuild is a real bear I will check that link but thanks

    i would replace the pads if those are cheap junk.

    but that looks like it comes with everything you'll need minus the brake lines and the bracket bolts(but cant you reuse the stock ones?)

    no caliper brackets. and i cant see if they come with the bango bolt or not.

    can you find any reviews on them? they dont LOOK bad really.

    in the pics it shows the brackets, so basically just a hardware kit is what you would need

    i stand corrected on that, your right, looks like you need the caliper bolts only and the lines, still looks like a good deal.

    or tap the brackets and use the stock w body bolts.

    but tommy boys dads company did sell Callahan parts. the whole show was about selling the new line of brake pads.

    your car only stops better. the abs dont care about the brakes, the sensor is in the wheel hub.
