Most of the time it is not worth rebuilding calipers because they stick when the piston get rusty and you will have to replace the piston as well as the seal. Piston rust because the boot is torn and water penetrates into the caliper. Once the piston surface becomes pitted you can't use them. I would just go to my local auto parts store and purchase a rebuilt caliper. When you remove the brake line off the caliper, do not allow too much fluid to drain out or else you are going to have a problem with air entering into the ABS pump. Bleeding the ABS pump is not something that can be done by a shade tree diyer.
