Is there a reason your replacing the caliper instead of rebuilding it?
Yes I did notice they offer the rebuild kit for only about $20. But I have never rebuilt a caliper before, and I'm not too confident in trying now. I need all this work done in one day. I am sure i know how to replace the caliper, so to be safe I am just going to go that route.

If you have access to an air compressor, you can blow out the piston. Use a small block of wood to catch the piston and don't get your finger in the way. The rest is self explanatory. Make sure the caliper is clean, then use brake fluid to reassemble the piston with the new seal. Just a thought.

That sounds harder than I expected... I kinda like having all of my fingers. I can do basic stuff, but I'm no mechanic. Thanks for the tips though
