Brake Caliper Rebuilding/Restoring
 
Does anyone know where I can get the brake calipers on our 69 Biscayne rebuilt/restored?

If it is a 69 single piston caliper resleeving is a waste of money.Replace the piston and a seals for about 20 dollars from any parts store. Bead blast the inside of the caliper and use silicone brake fluid. The operating principals of a single piston caliper is the piston doesnt touch the wall. The piston rides on the square cut seal.

I havent looked at YOUTUBE (yet) but any further advice for the Removal and Install
of the two piece AC Delco kit for my 70+ Camaro calipers ???

Ive already gone to YOUTUBE......so just need to DO IT myself !!!!

I will have caliper housings shot blasted but NOT the pistons .....or does it matter ???

For a driver/street car is KRYLON primer and Cast Blast aerosol OK or will it not hold up for long ??
