Aw crap- need a new left rear caliper....
Trying to bleed brakes, started to loosen the bleeder screw on the left rear caliper and it broke off. Dremeled a slot in the remainder, liberally soaked with PB blaster, stuck a flathead in the slot and put vice grips on... tried to turn it out and just broke off the remainder.
Went for the screw extractor method- fragged the threads to the point where I couldn't get a new bleeder screw to take hold. Tried to re-tap to no avail. I guess it is time to just replace the caliper.
Anyone have a spare left rear sitting around they want to part with?

Last I saw for a 1.6 rear was $125 + core for a reman. Fronts were cheaper, but I never saw a rear for $40. I bought a used one one from www.panicmotorsports.com for $28 shipped. They should have more. Good guys and fast shipping.
EDIT:
Oops, just saw your sig and saw that you had 1.8 brakes. Just saw 93 first. Might still check with them.

Na, i haven't looked at it in almost exactly a year now. i changed the rear pads to axxis ultimates last june and im sure i greased the pins up then. But my brakes didnt pass inspection. When they did the brake balance test it showed that the drivers rear brakes were barely working, if anything. I am almost sure that the Ebrake on that side isnt working that great either (but was fine last week AFAIK). Ill take a look at it all today and see what I can come up with. Maybe it is just a simple grease, adjust ebrake, and bleed the line.
