Honda Accord - Honda Accord seized rear brake calipers - Rich320d

This problem seems to be carried over from the 7th gen Accord to the 8th gen latest model Accord.

Mine is a 2008 model with 75k miles. One of the rear disc calipers siezed up solid, due to broken seals and rust.

A new Honda caliper is £450! Luckily you can get refurb ones for £80.

Might highlight the need to strip and clean the brakes on these cars more often to spot damaged caliper seals before they sieze.

Hi Rich,

I am having this problem with both rear calipers on my 09 accord at the moment. Could you point me in the direction of where I might get the refurbed calipers?

Cheers
