Re: 97 accord disk brake caliper
 

Got a reman Cardone caliper including the part that it attaches to for
$40 from Bumper to Bumper. Easy replacement - now am replacing the
other side. The prices varied for this reman caliper + all the way up
to $75 - so check several sources before buying. Cardone appears to
use a white silicone grease on their slider pins.

Thanks for all the help.

The problem is not really the caliper, but the slider pins that seize
up. Read back a few days and see the MANY explanations of why, on one
side the pads get worn out and the others are still 'new'.

My experience with Cardone in the past has been less than stellar. Be
sure to keep a close eye on it in the months ahead.

Just FYI...

well, white stuff certainly doesn't have black MoS2 in it! i say keep
an eye on that puppy. better yet, take it back and go for the more
expensive ones. there is usually a reason for the difference in price.
