Acceptability of Brake Caliper Cores?

Hey everyone,

I do believe one of my rear calipers are sticking on the 190E. So I think I'm going to replace them with rebuilts.. I am concerned that my current calipers wont be accepted as cores due to the fact that I took an angle grinder to them a few years back and smoothed one surface so that my 15" winter wheels would clear completely.

What do you think? The grinding does not effect the brake itself, just one surface.

i've bought calipers from advance auto one time; when i brought the old ones back they didn't even look in the box (i could have just stuck a rock in there). i doubt you will have problems

There won't be a problem as long as you bring them back a core & not a rock. They know that a few will be unrepairable, & if yours happens to be in that category, then there was no malicious intent.

I worked in a parts store when in high school & we ALWAYS opened the box to make sure there was a part in there. We never checked the condition.

They can rebuild almost any caliper though.

I admire your desire to be honest with them though.
