I am going to have to rebuild the rear caliper on my 1993 Trail Boss due to seven years of hard riding in a sandy river bottom. The dealer does not sell a "kit" for rebuild so I need to buy the seals independly. Does anyone know what parts need to be replaced to do a quality rebuild of the rear caliper?
Is this an easy or tough job?

The newer models (1995 and newer) have changed calipers which Polaris sells a rebuild kit to do.

 

My experience rebuilding old alloy calipers on cars has not been good. They were pitted and never did seal right. Is rebuilding cost effective? I assume since you are posting this, the price of the caliper is high.

Rear caliper assy $230.00 or Three seals $6.95 - one piston $8.95 - one set brake pads $21.50- Guess I would go with the rebuild. Shouldn't take more than an hour.

 

Would you happen to have part #s for the seals and the piston?

 

Chopperbill,

Ouch!!! I see why Weedy is looking to rebuild. You have the prices for the parts, do you have a source?

I would contact EPI. I am pretty sure they have a calpier rebuild kit, with all parts.

 

Seals and Piston totaled $20.33 from my local dealer. There is not a kit for this model but the individual parts that would be in a kit are available. I will have the Piston on Thursday because it had to be ordered.
