rebuilding front calipers, '98 Ram SS/T

Hey gang..
My '98 SS/T has a little over 160K miles on her. She's my daily driver. The brakes are acting funny, pulling to the left and I know it's got to be either a sticky caliper piston or a collapsed hose. Since she's my daily driver, I'm going to address both. I'm going to replace the hoses since they historically can go bad in collapse internally. Also, I'd like to rebuild the original calipers since they are, original to the truck. Since I'm the original owner, I like to keep all the original parts. I have a hone and I see the reseal kits are available and not all that expensive. Are there any pitfalls from rebuilding the calipers? I'll check the bore for corrosion and/or pitting along with the piston itself... Other than that, it should be a straight up reseal process.............

Thanks in advance..

Yep. Did it about 2 years ago on a 67 T-Bird...damn 4 pison calipers were a pain in the ass to pop out. Just use some compressed air, pop em out clean them up..new seals and right back in.
