Rebuild kit? I don't know about Prilla's, but every caliper I ever took apart had a dust shield, square-edged O-ring, and piston(s). That's it. A Scotch Brite pad can be used to polish the piston (hopefully, there's no rust on it if you changed the fluid sometimes) and bore, soap and water to clean the dust shield, and a new O-ring (and I can't believe someone doesn't have new ones).

Oh, and my CBR uses pins that the pads slide on. They get wear-grooves and cause the pads to stick. If Aprilia uses a sliding pin or pins, replace that first.

That's whats usually in the rebuild kit (minus the piston).

We can go to a place where no one would bat an eyelash at a massive flame.
