Brakes painted & rebuilt

[sullivan]

After grinding all rust and brake dust away, and painting them, I ordered rebuild kits. I am waiting on 1 more caliper piston seal to arrive.

Here are some photos, as for the rear brakes I cannot remember how they assemble. You have the mount bracket, then the caliper mounts on with two bolts. But do you slide the caliper in the bracket? Look at my photos and tell me if im getting it right. I ordered everything new for the caliper and brake hardware.

In one of the photos, check out the front painted differential cover, and my new deep impact sockets!!!

Front end has new sway bar links, new inner and outer tie rod ends, shocks, 100% rebuilt & new brakes. Im waiting on one last part to arrive before I bleed the lines and slap the shoes on.

Next is leather interior, bed cover, foxbox Dual 12", 20% tint all around, maybe some new tail lights and a third brake light.

You should do a DIY on how to rebuild the calipers and include parts needed/used and prices

I admit my request is a but selfish because Im wanting to powder coat mine as well as my rotors and a lot of my suspension parts coming up soon but having a tutorial for all to see would be a blessing for every member
