Find a rebuild kit or a junkyard. They shouldn't be more than $30 at a yard...

i rather buy a new or remand one

[coolgraymemo]

Just plug the brake line. Who needs rear brakes any way? YOLO






Just buy a re-manufactured/rebuilt unit from RockAuto.

If you buy the rebuild kit...aren't you technically "remanufacturing" it? LoL

$8.25...labor is free if you do it yourself.

When mine froze I picked up a used one OEM on ebay (rear left). Same thing when my CV joint went. Picked up a whole used OEM axle. Nothing wrong with buying an OEM used item.

those rebulid kits are just seals i just stated how the piston wont move.... so i need a new caliper. any ideas on my parking brake adjuster being stuck?

rock auto doesn't have any thing for less then like $95. I need cheap like I said cheapest ive found was $57

[MrSnickelsnizer]

....bro yes they do. Your 57$ caliper option is available through them with a 60$ core charge. That is hands down the cheapest reman you will find anywhere. If you want cheaper post an add in the classifieds for a used one, or take sickws6 up on his offer.

The point being after you take them apart, you will clean everything up and put new seals and dust boots on. In effect, your calipers would be brand new

[warpigg]

well drop the whole idea because im going to buy a caliper thanks for no help here guys.....

[redline380]

thanks for no help here guys.....

honestly, what the fuck do you expect? Someone to come up with a magical link to a brand new caliper for less than $57? Do you think everyone here has a pocketful of pixie dust and is willing to waste it on your quest for a dirt cheap rear caliper?

Every single post gave credible information. $57 for a reman caliper is not a bad deal. If you are too lazy to clean up your old caliper and replace a seal, DEAL WITH PAYING FOR SHIT

[warpigg]

no your right I cant afford the parts for this stupid piece of German shit. I have an awfull job an I cant afford anything so im sorry for wasteing your time. and im not lazy its the fact that the car has over 220,000 miles on original calipers an there so rusty an shitty that its not worth trying to fix them. don't worry I wont ask for help on here ever again....

[redline380]

A rebuild kit, some 5$ worth of material, and a couple hours of your time will fix this. Sounds to me like you are too lazy

[warpigg]

I just did rear wheel bearings lower bushings an sway bar links on both sides of my car im not lazy lol. I don't even have the money to buy that rebuild kit but like I said don't worry about it anymore I don't need help.

[warpigg]

along with I did a front axle last month an a front wheel bearing when I first bought the car. I do all the work my self unlike most audi owners I hear about who go to the dealer ship....

[redline380]

I don't even have the money to buy that rebuild kit.

There is a rebuild kit for $1.58 on rock auto. You are trying to tell me you have enough money to access the internet but don't have enough to buy a $1.58 seal and dust boot and $5 worth of sand paper?

[warpigg]

$1.15 in my bank account I didn't get paid last week. im 21 an live at my parents all my money has been going to this wonderfull car... granted I only make like 200 a week if im lucky hence why I live at home so how about we get off my back now. im done being an dick who doesn't want to listen now. so with this rebuild how would I get my caliper apart since mine wont unscrew?

[redline380]

make it unscrew. soak in pb blaster over night. byt that I mean take the caliper off, drain the fluid out of cylinder, and refill it up with penetrating fluin. After that, clamp the piston into a vise and turn the whole caliper.
