Just did mine yesterday , @ 270K , third generation of new rotors and pads . Just file down the wear rails on the bracket , dab some grease on them , install new pads/rotors and throw in a couple of new fresh springs . As long as the piston retreats smoothly , the caliper can be reused . Put grease on the contact points on the back of the pads .
I even went for new outer hoses {$4 / each} . Cleaned up the parking brake and kicked out the adjuster one notch . Anti seize on the hubs and cleaned up the bleeder screws . I went with $6 pads {close out semi metallic} and the $18 rotors {also closeout} . Parts these days are cheap .
Still need to flush/bleed the system , all 4 wheels .
