Where to purchase rear caliper rebuild kits?
After going to the parts place today and attempting to pick up my replacement PBR calipers, I found several things wrong with them. Though the parts guy would not admit it, it appeared as though someone had opened the packages and taken this and that from both calipers. One was missing the little retaining clip that hold the e-brake spring in place, and it shot off nearly clipping me. The other was missing the carrier and I would have had to keep the one off my old caliper, if it even fit. Which it didn't
Long story short, I decided to just bead blast mine, clean them, paint them, and rebuild them. Does anyone know wheres the best, fastest place to get a kit??? Time is of the essence. Thanks fellas

I'm in the process of rebuilding a set myself. I got mine from Advanced Auto for $6.99 per kit. part# D352746. They had to order them but got them in by noon the next day. I took mine apart and soaked them in a gallon of that parts cleaner that comes in a gallon can that most people buy to soak carb parts in.
I don't have akcess(sp) to a bead blaster. It's been a pita. lost a spring and the exploded view pic in my Chiltons manual has the wrong part number with it's discription. for example Part 1 in the pic is part 2 in the discription.
By the way does anybody have any extra return springs laying around?
