The right rear caliper on my 2009 HHR SS is leaking fluid. I'd like to replace it or fix it. Has anyone here replaced a rear caliper? I plan on doing it myself. My concern is the parking brake mechanism that is integrated. Are these calipers fairly easy to replace?

Thanks.

Found this thread on them, seems the big difference from the fronts is having to screw the pistons back in.

If you are getting a rebuilt caliper, it will already be screwed in. Not to worry. If you have done brake before, are mechanical, you can do it. The E-brake cable is a wresseling match, but not a big deal. Make sure to bleed the system.
Good luck

Thanks for the link and tips. I changed the caliper out with very little problem.

Keep an eye on the other one now..

I'd never do just one side..Always in pairs.
