the OEM's are pricey, or you could rebuild yours with a rebuild kit
if you do replace the front calipers, replace both

This is what I did. A couple of pistons, the dust boot and the internal flat O-ring seal is all that is needed, as long as the caliper body is ok (particularly the piston bores). I blew the pistons out of the caliper with compressed air. Might be a PITA to get the pistons out of the housing w/o a compressor.the OEM's are pricey, or you could rebuild yours with a rebuild kit
Hi Bignick1,
I would replace both calipers with a High Quality re-built set. The minimal cost of replacing BOTH calipers is far lees than the damage potential caused by BRAKE FAILURE !
This is another GREAT example of why its important to have the brake fluid flushed and replaced AT LEAST once a year. Most likely the piston seized or stuck due to moisture, condensation and corrosion build up from the brake fluid. Brake Fluid is HYGROSCOPIC...meaning it absorbs moisture at the very exposure of atmosphere air (and humidity).
Hope this helps.
