Messed up Caliper!!

Like the title said... I was working on my brakes and some how I manage to pinch the ruber cover around the piston. now is spitting the brake fluid all over when engaging the brakes.

Could this issue be fixed or do I need to replace the whole caliper?

Please advise!!

Quick question, where can I buy the rebuild kits? I'm doing a mini-BBK on my E30, and bought some used FC calipers, but want to mediablast, rebuild and paint them before installation. Thanks

Tomek.

The rebuild kits are available from Mazda, so you can get them at a dealer. There may be aftermarket options as well, but I am not sure.

... and very nice write-up limbar85!
