Re: Is my rear caliper broken?

I'm not quite sure if I'm understanding what came apart. There's nothing holding the caliper to the bracket that holds the pads once you take out the one bolt. Usually you just rotate it up on that slide pin, but I've taken mine off a couple times to clean out the old grease and re-lube it.

It could be that it's not coming out as it should. I replaced a caliper for under $90 if I remember correctly after I boogered up the old one. I, uh, didn't so much twist mine back in doing my first brake job on my Aurora. I more like broke a Craftsman caliper retractor trying to shove it straight back in. Oops.
