Think I should rebuild (Rear Brake Caliper)

[etcswjoe]

I was very bad and let my rear brake pads go almost to the metal; while I was cleaning the calipers up I noticed  little loops of rubber sticking out.  The calipers work fine; however, I think it might be in my best interest to rebuild them. What do y'all think?

Might not be a real bad idea, I mean you already have them out, so you might as well.

YES!!!!

Definitly. By the look of those rubbers I would say your caliper pistons have been sticking an over heating. When rebuilding avoid splitting the calipers in half. The seals that seal between the body halves are an odd size and difficult to find.

Thanks for the advice, I was just about to split them
