    How come my rear calipers keep sticking?

    It really is a simple job. Even with little experience, replacing the old caliper shouldn't take more than an hour from start to finish. All you need are 8,10,12, and 14mm wrenches. I replaced both of my rear calipers last weekend in about an hour, and that included getting the car in the air...

    How come my rear calipers keep sticking?

    There is a small hole in the rotor designed for inserting a bolt that will pry the rotor from the hub. As far as sticking calipers, they're really no different from any other ones. Over time, moisture will find it's way into the cylinders and corrode the bore. You can buy a rebuild kit and use...

    New guy, buying a P5 Wednesday

    Greetings! I've always wanted a Protege5, and so I've found myself browsing Craigslist every few months or so for the last few years looking for one. I've finally decided to do something about it, and am going to look at one Wednesday. It's a silver 2002 5 speed with 110K on it and no visible...
