Default N/S/R Calliper

Hey guys and girls my n/s/r calliper is seized, is it a simple job to sort the calliper or is it a replacement part? i have had a look on ebay, but cant find anything, its all vauxhalls and even jeep ones, so if anyone knows of one for sale going cheap it would be much appreciated,

also (just quickly) while i write this, anyone have a 2002 bug eye alloy for sale as when i got new tyres fitted they said one was buckled

Loads of those on e-bay, although many go as sets.

Caliper: re3move pads, jam something like a thin piece of wood against the WORKING piston and tread HARD on the brakes to try and free the stuck one.
If it's REALLY stuck, remove caliper and twist/pull it out with water-pump pliers.

Give it. and it's seat, a good clean, refit using new seals.
Best to do both sides.

I'm sure there is one brand new 2 pot rear in the for sale section. But as mentioned, easy enough to fix yours.
