Are the stock brake calipers on the 1/2 ton trucks serviceable? I'm going to be upgrading my brakes with new rotors, pads, braided lines, and HOPEFULLY powder coated calipers this winter with the truck in storage. The reason I ask if they are serviceable is because once powder coated they need to go into the oven for baking and that's most likely going to destroy any seals that are in there and who knows what else if I don't disassemble them first.

 

I'm looking to do the same thing and I emailed Baur about it.
He advertises disassembly of the caliper before coating then sending back a rebuilt kit unassembled(due to liabilty).
Sound like a good deal,
Auto zone actually offers just the front replacement calipers powder coated red but I don't know if I trust there coating.

I beleive I got a price for new assembled calipers from the Dealer at $119-123 each

The rears are $123-126

My Ultimate goal is to get the brackets, rear dust sheilds and calipers powdercoated and try some SSBC rotors/pads.

 

A guy I work with started his own powder coating company so I'm going to have him do the coating. He can get me any color I want to so that's a plus. Aside from the fact that I want a more performance braking system, once I get my Boyd C's on there I can't have that plain black/rust look behind them.
