Is there a repair kit for brake calipers? because when me and my dad went into car shop to order somethign this morning the guy told us we can only exchange them or something. Can anyone enlighten us on this subject?

Thanks for reading

Should be able to re-furb a pair of calipers for about 30 pounds, keep your eye on ebay for stainless steel pistons aswell
