Rebuilding your Brake Calipers Video
So I found this great video on rebuilding your brake calipers. It goes through removing the the dust boots, seals and pistons and replacing them.
Enjoy.... Seems pretty straight forward. Anyone have any thoughts or additional suggestions?? T. Brought to you by the V8 Help Desk.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same. Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.  I can't wait for my next Track fix.

This is what your dust boots should NOT look like...
I just rebuilt mine with the RB dust boots, seals and SS pistons. I also added some Hard Brake Titanium backing plates to go with my new Cobalt Friction XR-1 racing pads. I might be headed to the track Monday to try it all out. T.
