replament caliper?

Well just few minutes ago i went to pull out of my driveway and i started spinning tires and ended up digging a hole( literally), well upon further inspection, my driver side caliper isnt wanted to do anything, i released pressure on it since it was locked up and it released off my roter, but now when i step on the brakes its not wanting to close indicating a bad caliper, my question is where can i get a replacement for 15 in rims? i just want the stock replacment.

Re: replament caliper?

my bet is that your brake flex line took a dump . they can/will collapse internally and act like ck. valves . change at least both on the front . they are keyed lt. & rt. to the points where the hard lines attach . it's a problem with all older vechicles , happened also on my 89 P/U . good luck .

would autozone have these? they have the calipers for $11.19 so im goin to go ahead and replace both the fronts anyways since they are cheap.
