Remeber when that recall came around saying caliper pins needed regreasing because there wasn't enough lube? I was doing my brakes and saw the hack job they did. Mixed the yellow grease from mazda with some kind of black grease..bracket was stuck solid. Grease was thick, no contaminants..just crap product..


Anyway..looks like 3 of 4 calipers have seized up at the pistobs + rips. They use so much salt here these look terrible. Are you all getting remanufactured ones, or buying oems? I don't want a seal kit..these are compromised with more than just surface rust..

This was supposed to be a 2 hour rotor/pad change...:/
 
Seems that if you want it done right you have to do it yourself. Assuming that one knows how to do it. How many miles on your calipers?
