I replaced one of my rear calipers with a NAPA part.  Don't
remember what it cost off hand.  They actually had it in stock.
It was the second to last thing to replace because of dragging
brakes after replaceing slider pins.

The piston needs to be rotated to push it back in.  Open the
bleeder valve to relieve some pressure in the lines.
