rebuilding calipers?

[jas250r]

my front left is staying stuck out dragging on rotor. question is how hard is it to rebuild one? do you have order seal and such from dealer?

they are easy to rebuild. The reason why its sticking is probably one(or both)the slides is seizing. Its most likely the slide that is on the top of the caliper(goes into the body w/o rubber boot). The other slide rides in a rubber boot, its far less likely to seize. Plan on getting both rubbers for the slides at the least. If its the top slide thats the problem, rip the boot thats between the caliper mount and body, spray PB BLASTER in it, wait another hour and spray more, another hours spray more. It should almost slide out then. Do the same for the other slide(if its the problem), but rip the outside rubber boot. You can drill a hole into the caliper body for the top slide and spray into there, but you will need to seal the hole back up later. Heating may be required, try to avoid it.

Keep in mind with a dragging caliper, you probably have a warped rotor also. Plan on replacing the rotors also.
