easiest to get a new caliper
there are some places in the states that will rebuild them for you, but a new caliper shouldn't be more than $100usd -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!

Ouch.
Parts are going to be expensive for you. You can buy a rebuild kit, but first you need to find out if it's actually rebuild able. Depending how bad and where it's seized you might be better off just replacing them. --------------------  |

Or if you don't mind aftermarket, there's caliper rebuild kits available from just about every auto parts store.
Basically comes down to your ability to remove the seized parts. I had to use a punch and hammer to remove seized bushings in my calipers, but it was otherwise a fairly easy rebuild. On the other hand, you could have one seized so badly it'd take a machine press to separate the parts. At that point, it's just a core to exchange for a remanufactured caliper (which is basically a caliper rebuilt by professionals). www.1sttoyotaparts.com if you want genuine Toyota parts. You could even get the rebuild from them if desired -- what isn't listed on the website is available by calling them, just mention you're an internet order so you don't get charged as if you were a walk-in customer, as it is an actual dealership. |

Stripped it down last night and had a look, one of the pistons was pretty much jammed solid. Got them out and cleaned everything up. Seems to be good enough anyway. Cheap and cheerful fix

If you took 2 seconds to look at their location, it's Ireland. Everything's [relatively] expensive because it has to be shipped there, and it's not a large market...... -------------------- |

Well he fixed it.... but i guess i did not realize he was irish. (saying it with irish accent) -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...
