As i was replacing my rear brakes, the passenger side caliper started to leak.
I removed the 14mm bolt to get access to the 4mm hex key so I can push the piston back and put new pads. I started to turn the 4mm hex key counterclockwise and it started to leak from the hex key. I kept on turning it counterclockwise and no luck the piston is still not pushing back. I believe that it is stripped. I removed the driver side hex key and tried to put it on the passenger side and still no luck it was not going back.
The leak is a lot and i think the previous owner might have stripped it.
Now not sure what to do?
I think it needs to be rebuilt do you guys know where i can get rebuilt rear brake calipers in OC?

If you've got the right tools its not hard to rebuild them yourself. If you don't feel confident doing that you can always swap your core for a rebuilt one at most auto parts stores.

Thanks for a quick reply. I would do a rebuild, but dont have the tools to do it.
GOnna run to an autoparts here in Santa Ana tomorrow to see if they have a rebuilt caliper.
Hopefully they do. . . .
