Rotora BBK piston freeze arrggh

so my Rotora BBK piston freezed, ie: the pistons will not retract, therefore always putting pressure on the brake pad and to the rotors. anyone in Socal (near LA/OC) knows a place that can rebuilt them?

I would send them back to rotora as I am sure there is some type of warranty of some sort.

Have you tried contacting Rotora? IIRC, they rebuid calipers and they're located in Chino. Not sure how far that is from you - 30 miles?

thanks for the advice, so i went in to rotora, their located in Chino, CA. and i was told, the dust boot were no good, and stuff got in and freezed the pistons. also, they have discountined the 1 piece bbk design, so i was "made" to upgrade to the 2 piece via the buy back program which i did. in case people are wondering, a 10mm spacer will clear the 2 piece rotora front bbk kit on stock type s rims.

next todo list is to fine hub centric rings for the 10mm spacers
