Its really simple, All you do is take compressed air and pop out the piston after taking the hose off. when the piston is out you take the inner seal out and give the caliper a good wash, After that get a new dust seal kit and possibly a new piston its really simple to reinstall everything and you good as new. Use a rag or a block of wood when taking the piston out since it will shatter if its not metal from the compressed air.
It is cheaper, saves time and less aggravation to just purchase a rebuilt caliper than to rebuild it yourself.
You jack up and block the car. Remove wheel, remove brake caliper. Rotor is now free.
You jack up and block the car. Remove wheel, Push brake piston in with a wedge against rotor, remove brake caliper. (two 10mm bolts) Take brake pads out and fit new ones in, - replace caliper, replace wheel.
Remove Wheels Remove caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotor Rotor should slide off hub Use a "C" clamp to totally retract piston into caliper body Replace brake pads inner and outer Install rotor on hub Slide caliper on rotor and secure with mounting bolts REMEMBER TO PUMP BRAKE PEDAL TO SET PADS AGAINST ROTOR PRIOR TO MOVING VEHICLE

To change the rear brakes on a 1997 Chevy Lumina, first, lift the vehicle and remove the rear wheels. Next, remove the caliper bolts and slide the caliper off the rotor, then remove the old brake pads. Install the new brake pads, compress the caliper piston using a brake tool, and reattach the caliper. Finally, reassemble the wheel and lower the vehicle.

It is just above the brake pedal. The switch rests against the brake pedal lever.
you have to unbolt the caliper off the rotor, but not from the brake fluid line.
1) jack and support vehicle 2) remove wheel 3) loosen/remove brake line to caliper 4) remove caliper mounting bolts (2) 5) slide caliper off rotor Reverse procedure to install. 1) you will have to "bleed" air from the new caliper 2) pump brake pedal to set brake pads against caliper before operating vehicle
To change the brake pads on a 1997 Buick Park Avenue, first, lift the vehicle and remove the wheel to access the brake assembly. Remove the caliper bolts, slide the caliper off the rotor, and then remove the old brake pads. Install the new pads, compress the caliper piston if necessary, reattach the caliper, and secure it with the bolts. Finally, put the wheel back on, lower the vehicle, and pump the brakes to ensure proper function.
