How difficult is it to rebuild the brake caliper and what is involved. The Caliper kit is only 2.59 versus 40.00 a caliper. I've never attempted this so I thought I'd check first b4 I got over my head.

By the way this is for a single piston caliper from a '72 Nova Donor car

easy to do, put a block of wood in between the piston & outer caliper, use air pressure to blow the piston out. remove the dust seal & the O ring, clean the calier inside with brake parts cleaner, reassemble with clean brake fluid, here in Ky I can buy two correct Delco Morina rebuild calipers for a 69 Camaro from advance auto for around $40.00 to $45.00 + core trade in. kits are $13.50 each here.
