where to get caliper rebuild kit

I purchased 95 legend gs dual piston calipers and 03 cl rear calipers and got them powdercoated. i was told by my shop i need a caliper rebuild kit. They told me to contact Acura which I did but Acura told me they dont know where to get it also. I looked on the online acura sites and it looks like from the diagram it is number 1, but under the listing and price number 1 isnt mentioned and that usually means it is discontinued.

Why would you need rebuild kit if your front legend's calipers was like new ? From autozone already rebuilt

What was the kit called/Part numbers Autozone ended up giving you?

Is the rebuild kit for the dual piston calipers or the rear CL calipers or both?

I may need a kit for a legend rebuild as well.

I had them powdercoated and had to remove the pistons. One of the seals i believe was left on during baking. I was told by my shop that I should get a rebuild kit to be safe and avoid leaking. Otherwise I might find out they leak after installing. For kit it would be boots, seals, grease etc.

I ordered 2 front caliper kits from autozone for the legend calipers(comes with bushing and seals). The part number is 66522 and they are 2.99 each. Autozone does not have the kit for the 03 cl rear calipers tho so i still need to get those.

For the cl rear calipers, i looked at an acura parts site and found a "caliper set, rr" required quantity 2, part number 01473-sp0-000 for 12.80 each. It looks like that is bushings, seals, and grease.

that part number from autozone is incorrect. on the site it says its for the legend, but those seals are huge and it only comes with 1 not 2. So as far as i know there is nowhere to find it specifically unless you order the whole caliper to get them. Other option would be to figure out your seal size and find a universal one that will work. Acura dsnt sell them, autozone dsnt, napa dsnt etc. If anyone knows a better lace to get it let me know i will just be reusing the ones from my first set of calipers it looks.

I did a quick Google search on 'caliper rebuild kits' and clicked on the first vendor: Discount Brakes; Vehicle: 1995 Legend LS V6.

http://www.discountbrakes.com/shop/?...per+Repair+Kit

The kits are out there, so shop around, there may be a better price.
