rr brake caliper question
#6
If you'll be exchanging it for a reman caliper then test the caliper at the store. Push on the parking brake solenoid bracket several times to slide the piston out. Try turning it back in CW with needle nose pliers. If it doesn't slide back in then ask for another RR caliper.
After installing a rear caliper a few years back I noticed the piston was seized after bleeding out the caliper and testing it. Since then I always test the rear calipers at the store before exchanging them.

A reman caliper that has never been used seizes up due to poor assembly. A caliper with thousands of miles most often seizes up when the piston rusts due to the leaking seals. Another cause can be a rusted parking brake cable or the parking brake solenoid within the caliper seized. Freezing temperatures will seize a dried piston or solenoid quicker.
