I don't believe you can, Brembo don't supply repair kits. Assuming you've got the 40mm brembo goldline calipers, brand new callipers complete with brembo pads are £118 each, or there's always fleabay . . .

I think it's the galloping incidences of people suing if it all goes tits up. Brembo obviously don't want law suits popping up if they inadvertantly leave any loopholes in their instructions on how to service brakes - and they've got a point. Amateur mechanic's abilities can range from better than a professional to absolute bodge merchant and how would you tell who you had just sold a repair kit too?

I don't think you have to get a whole new calliper though. I have heard that these guys http://www.gprdirect.com/epages/gprdirect.storefront can service them for you. They're Brembo distributors and I'm sure that people on here have had them rebuild and service their brakes. I've not used them for servicing but I did buy a set of billet callipers from them and they're top blokes.

I had one piston that was sticking, so took it apart to clean it and thought I should renew the seals, If I cant get a seal kit I think I will just put it back together and see!!! bet it leaks though

If it's the rear that's even cheaper, GPR is the place to get them, £44 brand new with pads.
