a new caliper is rebuilt...i gotta exchange the broken one. its somewhere along the lines of $34...i have a discount at the store so cheaper than that.

caliper rebuilds never go well if you dont know what youre doing, and usually they are like $8 cheaper than a professionally rebuilt one.
oh yeah, and wd40 is not a valid way to fix a problem...
