The rotors have gotten hot quite a few times. I can finally get around to repairing this and I notice that calipers cost way more than I remember. I hate the fact that bavauto has closed. So, how viable is the rebuild option? Or once they get stuck and hot is there usually damage that cannot be fixed with cleaning and new seals?

It should be fixable, but honestly, rebuilt calipers are really cheap.2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD LBZ/Allison

My only complaint about rebuilt calipers is that they strip them to bare metal, but don’t recoat. So you want to paint them.2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD LBZ/Allison
