caliper seals question

had some rear brake sqeaking lately, and checked them out. little on the low side but the bigger concern is the boot is torn. In order to replace the boot what do I need?

I found this on www.courtesyparts.com :

Rear Brake Caliper Seal Kit (complete rear)
44120-SLKIT
All Models
1989 to 1994

What does that kit have in it? and will it have parts necessary?

The seal kit should have more then enough to replace the piston seal on your rear calipers. I used the same kit about 2 years ago for the same reason. While I had the caliper off I changed most of the other seals also, but there were a few pieces I had left over that I didn't change. It's relatively easy. If you have a Nissan FSM it's fairly detailed on the procedure. The kit contains the following:
Boot Pin 4
Ring Snap 4
Cup 2
Seal Piston 2
Boot Piston 2
Boot Cam 2
O-ring 2
Ring Snap 2
Cap Bleeder 2
Grease 1
Grease 1

Might want to order new shims for the rear pads if you want. Sometimes the squeak can be caused by old worn out shims.
