Getting the Wheeling Fever
|
I went to change my pads today and it turned out to be a pain! I have a stuck piston on my drivers side (inner/lower) and I don't think I will have the time to replace/ rebuild a caliper myself. about how much am I looking at to get it replaced at some place like Midas? Or am I going to be able to do it myself for less than $100?
Thakns in advance

If you can wait, I'd price out the OEM part at discount dealers (wouldn't trust a normal shop). The caliper's a cinch to replace.

honestly, normally I would do all the work myself. But currently I am working in the parking lot of my college with only the tools that I carry with me wheeling. If I were home I would do it no prob. but I got the piston to move a little so I am going to keep working on it and see if I can get it freed so I can replace it when I go home next.

all right I broke down and bought 2 calipers. $40 a piece. not too bad seeing that the last caliper I bought was for a SAAB and it was somewhere in the range of $130. and it was a little single piston sliding deal. My willingness to work on it went up with the temp outside as well. it was 60 or 70 out today! Yesterday it snowed on me while I was working <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
