And they're not serviceable. Time for new calipers. I really need to get some as well.

Yeah. Judging by how the caliper looked I probably could have just changed that but I already had the cables so I swapped them out too. The parking brake portion of the caliper was all rusty...

yeah i can take a pic of mine. all the rust was preventing the brake to release all the way. i had to use a rubber mallet to get it to release so i could change the cable

Anyone know what is the P/N for the ball joints? I would go moog but having to regrease everything doesnt seem right to me lol or they dont have to be regreased that often?
And well i noticed one boot is torn a bit so thats why im going to change them out.

I had my passenger side ebrake brake inside the caliper, take off rear tire, pull on the lever for the ebrake, if u can move it, ull need new caliper, if not something else is bad. the other day I had that little plate that holds the cable from the ebrake lever come loose, I guess the nut on the adjuster worked its way to loose and it popped out, so that was easy fix.

Yeah if i engage the ebrake nothing will happen with the caliper the wheel will spin freely but if i press the brake the caliper works like that, so during normal driving my stuff is working as it should. And i already have the caliper just need to install it
