[Bluemaxww1 at aol.com]

Hi,
Not hard to do.  Pickup a brake tool kit from Harbor Freight, this has  all 
the adapters for screwing out the rear pistons.  Cost about $40.
 
Buy rebuild kit consisting of O-rings and piston boot.
Let down the hand brake.
Remove the brake line from the caliper.
Unbolt the carrier with caliper from the rear hub carrier.  Twist the  
E-Brake cable off the caliper.
Unbolt the caliper from the carrier.  Check caliper carrier rubber  boots for 
holes or tears.  
Take of the rubber boot off the piston.
Use the tool from Harbor Freight to twist the piston out of the  caliper.
Remove O-ring from the piston.
Use brake cleaner to clean out the inside of the piston cylinder,   brake 
line orifice and piston. 
 
Option - put duct tape over the cylinder and glass bead the caliper and  
carrier.  Paint.
 
Dry out the cylinder with air, blow out the orifice with air and dry the  
piston.
Put the O-ring on the piston.
Put assembly brake paste on the cylinder walls and piston.
Screw back in the piston.
Just before you get the piston all the way back in, attach the dust  boot.
Reattached one side of caliper to carrier.
Attach carrier to hub carrier.
Install pads.
Attach second caliper bolt to carrier.  Torque to specs.
Reattach E-brake cable.
Reattach new brake line.
Bleed brakes and clutch.
 
Done.
