I rebuilt all my calipers this spring after getting them powder coated. I was quit nervous at first, but once I got the hang of it, piece of cake (I did at 4 of mine and at the same time 4 for a friend's '94 Formula Firebird). Basically, if you can operate a C-Clamp, you can rebuild a caliper (and I watched some "how to" videos on YouTube). Each caliper might be a tad different, but not a big deal.

 

I like how those look on a monte

Thanks guys
Going to go sticker less then lol I really didn't like the way they turned out much

Oh ok I can operate a c clamp Lol I'm going to do some more searching around

 

I rebuilt my calipers on my 69 Corvette , It's not hard to do, My vette has 4 piston's per caliper..

 

I tried to change the dust boots on the Monte. I did one of 8 and that was all I was doing. Felt like I needed an actual press to do it and I didn't have that lol

 

Which dust boots are you talking about? The ones for the caliper guide pins (if so, I found when I did mine, a socket and a hammer worked great, find a socket that fits over the press ring, throw a little WD on it, and tap on the socket with the hammer).

The dust boots for the front caliper pistons, I used a long old bolt (an alternator bolt for a 3100) as a "punch" to lightly tap the press ring down.

Being my FIRST time rebuilding calipers, it took a while. That and I was nervous as heck (I mean these are what stops the car). But all came out perfect.

 

I was using a socket and hammer. It was still such a pain lol

 

The perfect Press for me is a C clamp and a socket!

 

i just bought a press

 

Well, in that case, I don't know what to suggest
Or I was lucky when I did mine

 

Going back to Florida now and I was wondering, what all is needed to do an HD upgrade on my trans?
