Is the caliper totally defunked or can you maybe rebuild it with a stainless steel piston and new seal kit from  scoobyworx?   Just might be an option.

Seal kit is 26697AG000

Available from ICP and Scoobyworx

Seal kit is also fitted to some Legacy models as well (but only the seal kit - used for double piston front caliper))

Hya ccrien i thought of doing that but i use the car to get from coventry to nottingham on a sunday and im not back till friday so cant really be without my car mite have to get it booked in somewhere and get it rebuilt or a new one fitted but new calipers are as rare as hens teeth  so refurb mite be my only option thanks for the links mr don ooooh my head hurts bloody subarus lol

I hit lucky with my fronts, Impreza and forester have the same calipers so I bought a set of pagid refurbed from ECP one weekend when they had a discount, fitted them temporarily and have since rebuilt both sets of the originals with stainless Pistons etc. So I also now have a " spare set" for emergencies,. But the rears on the Impreza are waiting a rebuild now once the rain stops ( forester has ever lasting drums). Rears are harder to come by, as you know. Are you sure it's the caliper itself and not just the caliper to bracket slider pins seized?   Often it's the pins that stick particularly the lower pin, and they are cheaper and so long as you can get the old one out - -  - easy to replace.     Take it easy till fixed.  Cheers

p.s.  Guess you've checked with some of the scooby breakers listed on some other net site?

P.s.

Ive got new MTECH discs and pads to fit on rears  and new slider pins for rear and front so i took caliper off and tried to push piston back with a g clamp but it didnt budge so im assuming its seized solid as is the top slider pin so i guess its a rebuild or new caliper tracked a couple of used ones down courtesy of THE DONS info just waiting for a reply regarding cost and shipping etc 

[ccrien]

Ok, you have a plan, good luck.  Don is good isn't he!   

[scoobyjoff]
