rebuilt caliper for 95 945 900

posted by  someone claiming to be john on  Sun Oct 24 09:25 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a 95 945 volvo and one of the front calipers has a torn dust boot around the piston. This was torn because of my carelessness in working on the brakes about 6 months ago when retracting the piston with a pliers to put the pads back. The tear is now large. Can I just get a rebuild on that side?? or so I need to get 2 calipers?? Id prefer to just do the one side. If I need to replace both as a matched pair, then is it worth just getting a piston repair kit for the one side. The slide pins are in great condition as is the piston without pitting or other problems. Also what do you guys do when you remove the brake line to prevent the fluid from continuing to leak?? Id rather not clamp the brake line. Thanks JOHN
