How long should a rebuilt brake caliper last? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Manolo on  Tue May 3 16:53 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I would do the rebuild myself so I knew it was done correctly.

I used to have a Toyota that had a terrible problem with rusting in its calipers. I got some grease that was compatible with brake seals and used it to help keep the moisture and dirt out. This extended the rebuild interval from about every two years to about 5 years. I sold the car when it was 19 yrs and 250k mi old. The original calipers had been rebuilt 3 or 4 times and were still working.

My bricks are both 15 years old and 225k miles. The calipers have never been touched, though I have some concerns about the hoses and master cylinders.
