When we took the caliper out, there was a whole bunch of crusty yellow stuff on the inside of it that we cleaned out. Im not sure if this is normal, or maybe something is getting in there. Im not sure what the cost of a "rebuild" would be, but I found a used set on ebay with all brake lines for 18.99 and 15 shipping. New calipers are 35 dollars per side.
