Caliper pistons are phenolic plastic which have a nasty habit of eventually swelling and sticking in the bore causing the pads to drag. Yes caliper repair kits can work; I've used them but only with stainless steel pistons. That said new or reman calipers with a warranty are cheap enough why bother doing a rebuild yourself. IIRC the fr/rr calipers are the same for CRD and gasser.
