Sticking Caliper Piston
Has anyone here had a sticking caliper piston? Can you repair it with the caliper overhaul kit? Or do you need to replace the calipers?

You may be able to repair it with a kit, but the piston (part that is stuck) probably will have corrosion around it's periphery, and will no doubt leave scoring marks in the cylinder of the caliper. That may or may not be repairable. For the cost of a rebuilt caliper, I would leave the rebuilding to the professionals, and just swap it out...

Does anyone here know what the kit number for the front for an 2003 LS430? Is it 04479-50130? Is there one for the rear calipers as well?
