have you tried to repair it? I had both my front calipers seized this spring and fixed them. Use compressed air to blow out the pistons, remove the seal and dust boot, use a die grinder with a very very fine bit( the finer the better, relative to a 4000 grit sandpaper or finer), and gently clean any pits and rust off the inside of the caliper and do the same to the piston until it will slide in and out of the caliper freely without the seal. remove piston, re-install seal(new ones are better), lube up the seal with brake fluid, and re-install piston and push it back most of the way, re-install dust boot, and push the piston back the rest of the way. don't forget to bleed your brakes and clean and lube your anti-rattle clips when your done. Hope this helps. it's very time consuming, but worth it, my brakes are working like new since I did mine.

repair ?

In order to repair it , you need all of the parts :-) A 'helper' was doing some tidying up for me and threw out a box of 'little junky bits' that were the part of the caliper that attaches to the forks. without that, the piston and sleeve
( which I have ) are kinda useless. Thanks for trying to help ! Brian
