[Supras] Frozen calipers - best options?

[C Fernandez]

Greg,

I don't know if Toyota still has much available, as I sold my Supra 
quite some time ago, but I bought rebuild kits for the front calipers 
from the dealer.  The dealer gave me a better price than the parts stores.

Now if rebuilding your calipers is the way to go.... I don't know. 
You'll have to pull them apart first to check.  If the pistons are 
rusted up and pitted, don't try rebuilding them.  If just the pins are 
rusted, those can normally be replaced.
