- Thanks for watching! Here we go through the steps of caliper rebuilding, and add some color! This will work for 1965 to 1982 Chevrolet Corvettes, but would also work for just about any split caliper design.
Things you will need:
High temperature paint
Masking tape
Brake cleaner or access to a pressure washer
Sandpaper or steel wool, or a ball hone set

Great video!
Thanks for watching Greg!
Nice!!
Lubricate with brake fluid would help the seals go in. Also there is a torque spec for the caliper halves that is important.
Well worth it, rebuild these folks. Mine are perfect for rebuild. Thanks for this great video, and oh, if you have a break hone use that too.
The lip seal tool came with your kit?
Yes it did!
I assume when you call those seals umbrella seals, you mean lip seals, as opposed to o-ring seals that seem to be all the rage nowadays. Being an old guy, I’m not convinced the o-ring seals are superior.
Hello, my name is Joel I just watched the caliper rebuild video... nicely done very informative.
I've got a '78 that needs all this done , where did you get the kits n tool shown in the video?
I got the kit from the customer, who got it from eBay. The kit comes with the installation tool. I hope this helps and good luck!
i cant get to the top bolt on the front left caliper. what do i do???
very good video. what size ball hone did you use? thank you
I’m not sure as this was a while ago. I have a whole set of them and I don’t think they are marked. You can also use a light grit sandpaper or even steel wool. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the kits? I'd like the tool to install the seals.
The person I did this for got them on eBay
