Why jerk around with used when rebuilt ones are only supposed to be $14.00 each?

I agree, I found rebuilt calipers at Advanced Auto for $12.95 each and they were in stock. It is much easier to put new ones in then to try to find used ones that may need to be rebuilt anyway.

Mistro,
You can rebuild them for a buck or two. Can you do it yourself?
