Hello, I searched on this already and I'm trying to figure out what the repair kit part number for the caliper is that includes the bearing for the parking brake lever.

I am 90 percent certain it isn't the parking brake cable. The parking brake lever is seized up bad on both rear calipers. The rear brakes do engage though if I press the brake pedal all the way down because I can't turn the hub. So the pistons aren't seized in the caliper.

I looked at just buying reman calipers but they are 90 dollars, not including the core charge. I can't find a repair kit that has the bearing for the parking brake lever though. When I searched the forum I did see that it has one, unless I read something wrong?

If anyone could help me out I'd be really grateful

Im assuming you have solid rear disks? If so, get the remans...

I just searched for remans for my vented rear disks and couldn't find any. So i was forced to rebuild them. They are a pain to get apart when they are seized up. And they require an unusual circlip pliers.

Mazdatrix will rebuild them also. but im on the east coast and couldn't wait that long.

Yeah, rear disk brakes. I took the rear driver's side off and the parking brake lever is seized up in the caliper. From the diagram on the fsm it looks like the lever and the rod/bolt should all come out together but the rod won't come out. If I break it I will just buy the remans but I don't really have the money for 90 dollars a piece. The pass. side is seized up as well.

Do you have #3-#11 out?

No, do they have to come out? It doesn't look like you have to remove those to remove the parking brake lever.
