This thread will serve as both a place to help others get this method working and as a place to post user made Rebuild Kits (RK) for individual games. Make sure to check the Rebuild Kit list (click the third 'Show' button) to see if your game already has a RK!
Before beginning there are a few prerequisites that need to be met that vary depending on which portion of the guide you are using. These prerequisites will not be covered in detail in this guide so make sure you can easily handle them before tackling this guide. With that being said this is pretty basic stuff people so don't be scared away thinking it will be difficult. Just realize that it can be a time consuming process and as long as you follow the steps verbatim you shouldn't have any real problems.
Of course, this is why we have the Rebuild Kit list (click the third 'Show' button) for people who like to save time and energy.
Prerequisites for entire guide:
*DOWNLOAD create_cb_rk.7z (this is needed whether creating a game rebuild kit or not)
*knowledge of how to FTP into your PS3
Prerequisites for Part A (rebuilding the game image):
*7-Zip installed
*knowledge of how to create an ISO image of a game
*knowledge of basic file operations in windows like copying/moving files etc.

Now with that out of the way the first thing you need to do is decide which memory card(s) you want to have CB store its code database on. I've found this to be semi-important since you don't want to end up having your codes spread out across multiple memory cards and also because the database takes up a fair amount of space on each card that it is stored on. I recommend creating a new memory card just for CB but this is up to you. After deciding on which memory card to use you will need to assign it to slot 1.
The next part of this guide deals with setting up your newly assigned CB memory card. To do this you will need to download a very small ISO image that I put together to simplify the process: DOWNLOAD SETUP_CB.iso

If you decide to make a rebuild kit then first of all thank you, thank you, thank you. This saves us all much time and energy and with these kits it becomes possible for us to use cheats on *most* PS2 games (eventually) without dying from constant repetitive game rebuilding.
Secondly, please post a link to your RK on this thread here so I can add it to the list.
Here is the list of Rebuild Kit's available for download:

REQUESTS:
I am currently focusing on making RK's for games that are working in widescreen (thanks to the wonderful people over at the pcsx2 forums and psx-scene forums as well). So until I have got those games done I will not be taking any requests for RK's. This will be changed when I have finally caught up with these "widescreen hackers"
