Mazda 6 GT 2014 - Rear Brake Caliper Question
 
I'm in the rust belt. Rear emergency brake calipers do not return to released position. Is it worth rebuilding the rear calipers?

Thanks

For the price points on that part, it is a better choice to find a company that offers a rebuilt unit.
Reasons:
You will know it is rebuilt professionally (look for the supplier's name and reputation in the industry for this reason)
All worn parts are replaced.
You get a warranty.
You don't need to but additional tools for the job.

Because in my situation we have 3 large suppliers of wholesale auto parts and many auto dealerships offer a line of rebuilt parts we seldom in the service shop rebuild any customers calipers anymore for most of the reasons I pointed out.
