Anybody rebuild their own 4 pistons front calipers with the repair kits??



I probably can get that or a rebuilted caliper from my local import part store.

I've got the kits, but I haven't rebuilt them yet. All of my car projects are on hold until I can have the front end rebuilt.

I need to do that also, each of my front calipers have one piston frozen. Whare do you get the kits at?

I bought mine from Mazdatrix.

I also bought mine from Mazdatrix and did them. Mine had two frozen pistons in them though, and the working two werent so hot.



It was fairly easy, just got to make sure you get all the debris out of the calipers and dont damage any of the seals.



Make sure you also use plenty of anti squeal compound as I didnt and it sounds like I need a brake job with brand new hawks and brembo rotors.

I have the same problem with brembo rotors and hawk pads. I had hawk replace my pads but still the same problem. Even after i resurfaced the new brembo rotors. I took a chance and put in my old worn out stock mazda rotors in.

No more noise. There seem to be some kind of imcompability between the hawk brakes and the brembro rotors. THe guy where i got the rotors from said he has complains about hawk brakes with brembo rotors.
