Miami - Rear Caliper Dead - Help!
I was at a friends house working on my rear brake pads and the right rear piston seal broke. So I am dead in the water with a dead caliper.
If there is anyone out there that could maybe help, I know nothing is free in this world, give me a call at 239-248-0516.
Thanks in advance,
Graham

Caliper rebuild kits (including the piston seal) are available from the dealer. Will be doing this on my car shortly - while replacement of the seals and boots on the front calipers looks to be pretty straightforward, rears may be a bit more tricky with the parking brake line and compression/turning of the rear pistons. At any rate, if it's just the boot, you can still drive the car and have the brakes function in the short term; however, any debris, moisture, etc will damage the piston and sleeve in relatively short order.
