Brembo caliper rebuild, who's done this?

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

I was giving my car a once over and noticed I cooked the seals up front and would like to use this chance to change the seals and boots. I can't say I've ever tried this myself. I consider myself very mechanically inclined but would like to go into this with some knowledge.

Any tips or advice? Can I do this on the car so I don't have to break the seal on the system?

From S197forums:

Just got this info sheet from Zeckhausen Racing.

You can use this to order dust boots and pressure seals for your GT500 Brembo kits when it's time to overhaul.

Centric actually makes a rebuild kit for the front Brembo calipers, I'm sure you can get them from the dealership but usually the dealership is twice as much.

Here is a listing of them:

Replacing them is fairly straight forward, just gotta be careful not to scratch anything. I have a couple videos on how to do it.

Would you mind posting or sending me those videos? A friend and I will be rebuilding our calipers this weekend. Thanks.

Not done on a Boss, but it gives you a general idea on what you're doing. This was done on a Corvette caliper.

Since the boss is a fixed caliper and there are pistons on both sides, do the side that is farthest away from the banjo hole first.

Hope it helps a little bit.

I had to do this for the right front caliper before I used titanium shims.

Never had any experience doing this before and it turned out fine. Pretty easy job.
