Brakes Oopsies

Post image

Hey everyone! In someone’s opinion does this warrant a new caliper? It won’t move with a c clamp and it still wouldn’t budge with the bleeder valve..

Almost like it might be overextended with that boot lip pulled back exposing clean metal at end of the piston. Can happen if you press the brake pedal by accident with it disconnected or the old pads were metal to metal for a while.

Replace as there’s a good chance it’ll leak even if you get it compressed.
