Default Anyone ever rebuilt brake calipers?

Just wondering if it is worth the effort. I need new rear calipers and it would save a good chunk of change to rebuild them, but if it's a real hassle I'm not going to bother. Calipers - $64 each, rebuild kit - $10 each

i have a set of cores. Let me see what i can get the rear calipers for. i know i can get them cheaper than that. Just give me your rear calipers when you swap them and were good.

That caliper price before core charge? Because I swapped mine for $20. $10 more to not do the rebuild isn't bad.
