Alcon Calipers rebuild ...
So I found out during the process of changing or attempting to change my brake pads that the calibers need rebuilding it seems that the Pistons are so corroded that if we just clean them up and push them back and put the new pads in that it’s going to cause the calibers to late for sure at some. In time. Does anyone know where to get rebuild kits or get rebuilt calipers these are the Alcon that are red with the are on them six piston front and four piston rear so I found out during the process of changing or attempting to change my brake pads that calibers need rebuilding it seems that the Pistons are so corroded that if we just clean them up and push them back and put the new pads and that it’s going to cause the calibers to late for sure some.

Thank you. I called Alcon USA after much searching. Located in Illinois. I spoke to owner Chris. They have a deal thats not too awful bad.
Send in 2 Calibers & 95$ that gets you tear down and the needed pats identified as well as return shipping. You are then notified actual cost to rebuild & pressure tested. 2-3 week turn around & average @ 250-300 per caliber.
I bought the car to do my own work as I turned wrenches for many many years. But with an option like that I have to think about it. I would just have to sell a few things I haven’t used in years.
But the rebuild kits for that cheap is awesome. Thanks again.
