Hey all,
I am in need of a working driver side rear brake caliper and mounting braket. If anyone has one they are willing to get rid of let me know. I may also be interested in the passenger side as well.

I've got a set, and you're more than welcome to them if you pull them.

Just FYI, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) there is a difference between the FWD and AWD rear calipers. I wasn't sure because you didn't specify.

I can probably recondition your caliper, I just did mine the other day. Call me.

The caliper actually works ok as far as the piston movement. One slider is completey rusted in and the bolt was rusted in the slider. I've already drilled out the bolt in the sleeve and drilled and tapped both holes in the mounting bracket. So it's not really a matter of rebuilding, but thanks for the offer.
And this is for the 1G FWD. Thanks!

Looks like you're already squared away here locally but if not we should have a couple of pairs in stock.

Wow... Thanks Rob!
I pulled the two rear brak calipers off of the Canadian AWD last night in what I would consider one of the nicest setting possible for such a venture. The car was already on jack stands with the wheels off, in a semi-warm garage so clean that I was embarrased about the rust dropping on the floor. Well I got the calipers and cleaned up my mess for what seemed like no cost. Thanks for the hospitality Rob!
BTW - the rear AWD calipers are different than the FWD rear calipers. I will see just how different this weekend.

The AWD rear brakes are not TOO different. I was able to make the AWD caliper work on the FWD with out much modification. Brakes have been working great since Saturday!
Thanks foir the offer though.
