It looks like I have a passenger-side front caliper that has seized partially, and I'm needing to rebuild it. The problem is, I have no idea how to actually do that, so any guidance would be most appreciated. (What to watch out for, time-savers, etc.)
 
You can purchase a rebuild kit, which only consists of a couple of seals. You will also want to buy a cylinder hone. Take it apart, hone the cylinder, replace the seals, polish the piston if it has any corrosion, and put it back together, bleed the system. It’s not that hard.

You might get away with popping out the piston, honing the cylinder in place and replacing the piston. You must do a really good job of cleaning out the grit before putting it back together though.
 
i just called the dealer today about getting a rebuild kit for calipers, they told me 15 bux each and they called it a seal kit. it was on backorder tho for a few weeks, but im going to order it and rebuild my dual piston calipers i got and swap them onto my 92 shortly
