I know you're asking about a kit to rebuild the caliper yourself, but have you considered buying a rebuilt caliper? They are pretty inexpensive and some even come pre-loaded with brake pads. I've bought some from FCP Groton and so far they work fine. There is a core charge, so you have the cost ($12) and inconvenience of having to ship the old one back. You could avoid that by buying from your local NAPA or the like. For me, the challenging part was to disconnect the brake fluid line from the caliper without destroying the nut. Best of luck.
