Brakes problem
1995 Nissan Maxima Front Wheel Drive Automatic 130000 miles

We recently noticed a problem with our car's brakes so we took it into the shop. They said that both of the rear calipers were as well as the front driver's side were "frozen" and needed to be replaced. I've done brakes before so I'm somewhat handy around cars but I'd still consider myself a novice. My questions are: 1. Is it difficult to replace brake calipers if I can find them cheap/used? 2. Is there any likelihood that the "brake caliper repair kits" you see online (looks like mostly rings & gaskets) could solve the problem? Thanks!
