I chiped a pice off with the hammer, it looks like i could still use it though.
I really dont want to have to buy a new one.

sure you COULD use it, but why bother when a new one is only 30$?

Yea like 30 bucks for a caliper. Just hope you dont need a rotor. They are almost 60 bucks a piece.

Put it back on and if it works, use it.

Then buy another one when time, money and your mood are better prepared.

Man I wished I knew that. I was looking for just a caliper bracket and ended up paying 50 bucks at at Advanced Auto Parts...but it was for a 87 Thunderbird turbo coupe
