I've done a bit of searching but didn't find an answer. My driver's side rear brake caliper is leaking at the parking brake mechanism pivot. I'm not sure its proper name, but it's where the bracket enters inside the caliper housing. It's leaking exactly the same as the picture in this thread: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123803827-Rear-brake-caliper-leaking&highlight=rear+caliper+leak
So my question is does a rebuild kit include the seal for this bracket shaft? Or just the piston seals? I've never dealt with a parking brake like this before, I'm not even sure how to remove the pivot from the caliper. I've rebuilt other calipers before, so I'm more than willing to tackle it though. The brake works perfectly fine, with the exception of this minor leak, so I'd like to save some money over replacing the entire caliper.
Thanks for any help!
