Both of my rear calipers are seized. I dont consider it a huge deal at 133k miles. Thats a decent life for em.... Best price Im finding is at Autozone for $79 after core return. Here is the link, and I cant see a piston in the pic of the caliper? Does it not include that?

I guess I could call and find out. Just wondering what your experiences are, and if that price is ok?

 

not calling you stupid. but you know we have twist in rear calipers right? and they are very stubborn at times. i have a snap-on i believe it is tool set for rear calipers in my toolbox at work. it works great and i never have a problem on any twist in calipers. ford, nissan, etc. you should try to invest in one if you dont have it. its probably around the price of 2 new calipers anyway .

 

Im not talking about pressing the pistons in to change pads. Im saying the pistons ARE seized, as in, I have no rear brake functionality. I have the brake tool you are talking about and have used it twice on this car for changing the rear pads before. Thanks though.

 

I got mine from www.rockauto.com best prices I've seen anywhere.

 

Thanks. It seems they do have a better price... But, when I factor in shipping costs for the core return, Ill probably end up spending more than what Id pay picking them up locally at Autozone.... Dont you agree?

 

Then why not just get them from AZ?

 

I dont know why not, thats why I started the thread.................?

 

Hahaha, I got mine from AZ, no problems with them

 

Yeah thats probably what ill end up doing... But then I start to wonder if maybe its the pins that are siezed. I know for a fact the last time I changed my pads/rotors, I reused the pins and did not re grease them.. Hmmmm....
