As in the title, complete rear right caliper incl yoke. I had uneven brake wear on the disc, garage advised they would be able to strip it and it might free up, possibly sliders, maybe piston. However I just replaced the whole caliper instead.

If anyone wants a core return or see if they can get it working, by all means.

Cost: Free - Collection near Leeds
P&P: Whatever it costs!
where did you get new callipers from?
nipple moving and is it 30 or 32mm piston? (peel the dust cover off)
Welshpug - Caliper in this listing was a refurb'd unit, only 2-3 years old, so nipple should come loose but no guarantees of course, I haven't got the correct tools to check myself. Piston... the brake pads are still in there held by the slider pin, so another thing I can't check, it should be a 32mm but who knows!

Good news - One of the sliders is stuck, meaning this caliper should be salvageable! The other slider is smooth and what I've came to expect from sliders.

Eeyore - Bought a fresh refurb'd caliper from amazon....and why this one is up for grabs, I don't really want to bin it if someone can make some use of it - Not looking to make any money out of it of course.
ill make use of it, drop me a pm with where to send a beer token/postage donation.
