    2002 S6 rear calipers, did I receive the wrong parts? (w/ pictures)

    I attempted to replace the passanger rear caliper, and it seems rock auto sent me the wrong one? It bolts up fine in terms of fitment. However, the brake line is too large of a diameter to fit into the caliper (the caliper receiving female end is too small).

    Parts ordered say for a 2002 S6, however the part itself did not have the same part number as stated on the outside of the box. It seems that this part started with an "FR #'s...." part number... the box stated....


    The caliper on the car stated....






    Not sure whether my calipers are different than factory as someone may have replaced brake lines (I doubt it), or the part received it wrong...

    What bothers me more so is Rock Auto is making me pay return shipping and handling and their return invoice states "REASON FOR RETURN - DID NOT WANT". When the actual return reason is... "REASON FOR RETURN - WRONG F#($ING PART"...

    I did mention in your other post that S4 B5 uses smaller diameter fitting for rear caliper then S6 or C5 V8...calipers are the same except that 'small' thing not letting you mount it.
    They probably sent you S4 caliper.

    They had the check of the part number, another guy confirming it's for an S6 and then the receipt. So of there attempt to confirm a non mess up, I was just dumb founded.... so aggravated.
