I discovered that my left rear brake caliper is leaking, pretty badly. Where the e-brake spring is, the fluid is coming from where the actuator for the e-brake enters the caliper, if that makes sense.
Do I need to rebuild the caliper? Replace it? Is this something simple? |
the rebuild kit is like $30 does both sides, kind of a bitch
one rebuilt caliper is like $100 from mazda, cheaper elsewhere, super easy; but only does one side. or find a used one |
I'd do the rebuild kit. Bleeding the brakes afterwards will probably make a huge difference, since there is probably a lot of air in the system now... and even more once you remove the caliper.
Good luck |
I'm kinda sick of screwing stuff up on my own, I think I'll check around for a used one. Are all rear calipers the same? Or do the differ between 4 and 5 lug?

Dont you have 4 piston calipers? I had to replace the calipers on my old GXL, I didnt bother rebuilding them as I have the tendency to **** **** up like that...I think I paid 65 for each of them(reman from Mazda).
