To get a new (rebuilt) caliper for the rear right side. I figured I would try Napa since I had return problems with Advance. I paid $20 more dollars than Advance, and waited 2 more days, but okay. I get the thing home and install it. It leaked. I tightened the bleed screw and made sure the hose wasn't leaking either, but it leaked out the bottom where the two halves come together.
I called the store, and the kid who answered the phone told me, "No sir, there is no possible way that could happen." I told him that yes, not only was it possible, but it was actually happening as I was looking at it. He didn't believe me. I can't begin to tell you how f*cking mad that made me.
He then told me that it couldn't leak unless I banged it, implying that I had damaged it.
So, I took pictures of it leaking, then uninstalled it and brought it back to the store. The guys who had just sold me the caliper an hour before then told me that they had never seen a caliper with pistons on either side. Gee, it must have a leak, they tell me.
It really shouldn't be that hard to fix brakes.
BTW, the driver's side rear that I got from Advance is great, no leaks.
