This is getting old. Nobody carries the caliper piston - at least no place I can find. So, I had to get the entire caliper. I went to O'Reilly's yesterday and picked up the replacement caliper and one repair kit for the other side. Shortly after I got home I made sure the caliper would fit the bracket. It did. Then I decided to go ahead and install the repair kit so both sides would be ready to go back together. Double crap! The seal and o-ring are the wrong size. I called O'Reilly's back. Wouldn't you know it, they can't get the correct part. Sure wish they had determined that last week before I jumped through all these hoops.
So, today I'll be going back to O'Reilly's to get the caliper for the other side. That will mean my brake job will have cost about $100 instead of the original estimate of $15 if the seals had been available AND the piston had not been chipped AND rabbits carried shotguns. Oh well, I may as well spend another $20 or so and replace the brake lines while I'm at it. Afterall, it's only money and it helps keep the Chinese and Mexicans working.
