Angry Brake calipers

My left rear caliper started sticking. I tried all the major parts houses in town. Only Auto Zone could get it the bext day.The rest couldnt get it at all or would be at least a week. Got the new caliper and installed only to find the stock banjo bolt wouldnt work. Couldnt find one that would fit it.Took it back and AZ ordered another one. The banjo bolt wont fit this one either. I am very to say the least. The remanufacturer is Fence out of Canada.
Any one else have this problem? Has any one changed out their caliper with sucess? What company did you buy from?

Please help if you have some info.

I just changed out my front's. They were $105 apiece from the dealer. He give's me a discount. It pay's to make chummy with the part's guy.

How much were your's?

I just needed the left rear. It was around $65. I dont understand why the reman ones that I got had different threads than the stock one on my truck.After working the caliper and having it off of my truck,it isnt sticking any more.

I have never personally had any good luck with Fenco's. I would opt to get the dealer ones....when it comes to brakes there is no sense in cheaping out, they are what stop you and prevent accidents. Also in my opinion brake parts should always be replaced in pairs so if it was my car or a customers car I always recommend doing both rear calipers at the same time.
