Default rebuilding my calipers

Well,after troubleshooting everything other than my brakes for the source of a grinding noise coming from the rear of my truck,and then being. Told my caliper is probably froze and the noise is the sound of my breaks being tortured...well after some research and counting dollars I decided. I'll rebuild my rear calipers,repair kit is 9.00 and with that and a bit of scrubbing. With a wire brush and brake cleaner I will save some money. ...and share the process for anyone else who may want to give it a try...So ill let you know soon if I screw up lol

Will be interested in your results and where you found the rebuild kit. I just had a piston freeze up on my 250 and just opted to replace the caliper.
