Shimano doesn't offer a rebuild kit, instead they'll replace the caliper under warranty. I got my new caliper from fanatyk in whistler. They were great to deal with.

I bought a new saint for my knolly. Then I found out they would fix it for free. So now I have a saint on the front of my bottlerocket. It's a hell of an upgrade.

Man, you hit it right on the head. I've broken my elbow, fractured my lower back, and won a race on my knolly. All it haa needed in the last 4 years is bearings and brake pads. It's a beast.
