Default !@#$% Rear Brakes

Put new pads and rotors on the rear on Saturday. Unknowingly, made the drivers side caliper return spring come off. My drivers side was dragging like crazy, and thought one of my bolt pins fried up.

Turned out it was the return spring, and so, today, I tried putting it back on and getting my car all set.

Wellllll, the bolt that the spring goes around broke off in the caliper. So now I need a new caliper.

So a $3 spring just cost me $75.

Theres not enough room. The bolt broke off pretty deep into the socket it goes into.

I bet I could remove the bolt, but sadly would cost more to ship it both directions for a repair.

Jazzer is sorry to hear this
