You should use a repair kit if you notice brake fluid leaks, sticking pistons, uneven brake pad wear, or when your caliper is no longer functioning smoothly but the rest of the caliper is still in good condition.

Common causes of caliper damage include worn-out seals, corrosion from moisture or road salt, contamination by dirt or debris, and overheating due to aggressive driving or poor maintenance.

Yes, it’s essential to use high-temperature brake grease to ensure proper lubrication, reduce friction, and prolong the lifespan of the caliper’s moving parts.

Typically, a repair kit contains piston seals, dust boots, guide pin boots, retaining clips, and sometimes lubricants. Some kits may also include other components depending on the manufacturer and vehicle model.

When repaired properly, the caliper can last as long as a new caliper, typically several years, depending on your driving conditions and how well the repair was done.
