Rebuilding front caliper Questions!!!

I did a search and didn't find any post so help me out Please.
I need to rebuild my front calipers on my '01' Max. Is there any How-to advice and where is the best place to get the kit itself? I prefer OEM parts for durability. Or should I even waste my time and just get the Rebuilts of Ebay? I saw a set that would cost $85 plus $25ship plus $160 refund core deposit. Mine is boiling the fluid after driving @ 70-80 for a few minutes. If I slow down the pedal regains firmness. I just upgraded rotors/pads from GD because drivers rotor inside had been damaged from stuck caliper.
