Rebuild Brake Calipers?
I am get ready to do my 2nd brake job on the h2.
I have had the h2 for 5.6 years and 84k miles.
Do you think I should have the calipers rebuilt as preventive maintenance?
I don?t think that they are sticking, but since they have had some use could it be a wise choice?

I'd run them untill you have issues. Even brand new caliper could **** at any time.

I agree, just buy some good caliper grease and lube the living hell out of everything. Take the pins out and lube them up, basically every part that has metal to metal contact and you'll be fine!
