You'll have $20 in a new piston, $15 in a rebuild kit, and another $20 for a cylinder hone. OR, you can get one that has been professionally rebuilt, with a warranty, for $50.... your choice

 

thank you sir, i forgot to mention the type of grease. good catch on your part!!

 

you can get them loaded with pads for 60-70 and a rotor is like 30-40... most times
better to replace then turn them, turning is usually 15-20 each...

 

I made the $200 mistake before...now ALWAYS use silicone grease...

 

inside pad means the slides need greased

 

Hydraulic pressure will overcome any binding when you apply the brakes. If the guide pins bind, the outboard pad will not release. If the caliper piston binds, the inboard pad will not release.

 

1 step forward, o steps back

 

New calipers and rotors are cheap, go that route. Not sure where you guys are buying your parts from?
Rotor $32 front or rear one year warranty
Caliper $40 front or rear life time warranty (but yours can be fixed with a little elbow grease) for free! I did mine.
Pads $20 life time warranty

$52 new rotor, new pad, rebuilt caliper. I did it you can to!

 

Thanks for this info, great for future reference. Just did rear brake job on the Blazer, and the inboard pad on each side was worn to almost nothing, while the outboard pad on each side had barely any wear. Have a feeling that whoever had the truck before me replaced the pads without replacing the calipers, which I've learned from this forum is not a good idea when working on rear brakes. The difference in braking power is very noticeable.

 

might want to check your math on that one... should be $82 per side....
