Rear Caliper Died - Only a year and bit old

Is Centric a good brand?

Centric is good but just keep in mind they are all remans, since they are still OEM, so why is your rear caliper died? stuck? since they have springs behind the piston and the E brake lever has bearings in them, probably jumble up and broke causing stuck piston. I have rebuilt mine myself and it's no easy task unless you are willing to spend more than a day taking a part, cleaning, replacing the seals and have the tools to get that darn spring press back in, since they are very difficult.
