brakes

[trollbum]

 well my passenger side caliper has a seized piston and the guy who sold me the truck included another caliper but i was wondering how much a new caliper would be. should i just get this spare one shaved for wheel clearance it looks like it's been sitting for a while so it's condtion is unknown (setup is 85 axle with ifs hubs and calipers, vented rotors)

i thought i'd ask cause brakes are a pretty important saftey device.

anyone have some mint calipers kicking around?

if your not worthy of rebuilding you calipers, i would buy a new/rebuilt unit

like you said brakes are kinda nice when you need to stop

I got rebuilt calipers fro my 91 pick up from Advance Auto.  They even had em in stock!  They were the 4 piston ones, about $50 a piece i think it was......but the core charge was like $70 a piece!

for core charge can't you just trade them your old calipers??

[WHITE_TRASH]

yup

if not pick up a set at the junkyard for $5 and use them as cores

don't worry guys after i pick up another set from a parted out runner i should have 3 spares !! thats like 70*3= 210$ 

can you just trade them in without buying new ones?? i need the cash for engine repairs....
