Hey, welcome to MVS, antwerx1024! There's probably rust and grit inside of it... If some fluid is coming out, that's a good sign: you can probably rebuild it (if you're so inclined) and be good to go. I don't have a bench to do stuff like that so I'd put in a rebuilt caliper. Those are pretty afford...

They are definitely much easier to install. I am still averse to these but people have been trying them for a few years now and they seem to last OK.

I'm thinking this is the way to go...

Anyone have the lengths and the gauge of the other cables?

In case anyone is curious about how long you have to crank it when you've "lawnmowered" your engine...
