Purchased our 1997 Rexhall in 2006 with 18,500 miles on it. One of the first things I did was replace the brake calipers with re-built ones from NAPA. I also replaced the brake hoses, and brake fluid. One of the reasons I went with the NAPA calipers was the metal pistons used (heard the stock, phenolic ones were not good) The calipers also came with guide pins incorporating stainless steel. Used permatex disk brake caliper lube when I installed the pins. Last year, after 35,000 trouble free miles (including a trip to Alaska and back), decided to pack the front wheel bearings and check the caliper pins. After repacking the bearings, re-lubed the caliper pins, reassembled, and everything is good again. Living in Colorado, going out of the state often means going over mountain passes. Never any sticking calipers or other brake problems. Just my experience, others may differ.
