This thread was offered up as a way for you to eliminate the park brake cable from your front calipers and relocating them to the rear. Best of luck resolving your brake issues.

Yes, I Understood That, I Believe that's a Good Idea too...
Thank You again.
...I have 4 lug EA knuckles, 5 lug EA xt6 knuckels, and 1st gen legacy knuckles down at my shed. If you want I can mix and match parts and see what fits for you. ...
Oh my God! ... Yes!!!
Please do that if you Could... Because if you can tell me Which exactly Caliper Works in the EA Braclet, without e-Brake Stuff... it could be the Answer to my Prayers!
Thank you in Advance.
Kind Regards.

I Just Asked him to Search for the Front Calipers for my EA82 Wagon. Maybe a Rebuilt set...

Right now, a Friend in Miami Fl. just called me by Phone, he's Coming here to Visit me and asked if I Wanted Something from there...

That's good news, although I'm sure you could have had rebuilt ones delivered to you weeks ago if you had used rockauto.com.

I haven't had any major problems with it in the past, but I know what you're saying. It can't be as bad as keistering brake calipers on an airplane:lol:

...That you Wrote?... keistering ...

Jacob, could I Ask what is the Meaning of the Word...
...That you Wrote?
Kind Regards.
I was trying to be funny. I think that word originates from people trying to sneak things into prison. They'd put them in their butts, or "keisters" because that's the only place the guards wouldn't look. Obviously your friend in Florida won't be doing that, but I'd imagine he or she may have at least some difficulty moving calipers.
I've only dealt with the Canadian border, so my experience may be quite different.

If it's just a personal package you can say it's a gift, or sample merchandise or something and it'll get through without an issue.

The Guy that is Searchin' for the Calipers just called by Phone again, asking my Subie's Vin Number... he said that the Salesman needed it to Search for the Proper Part on their Database...
I'm Crossing Fingers now...
if he could bring those calipers here, I will Avoid Taxes and Shipping Costs.
Kind Regards.

Shipping overseas can be a major huge pain in the rear. ...
You mean "Keisters"
Well... Yes!
I experienced that Several times, including my Brand New Weber Conversion Kit I Obtained in 2006 online, and more recently, the Rear Disc Brakes sent by a Good Friend here, in USMB.
Customs Clearance was a Nightmare.

Holy Weird Behaviour... After I Gave the Needed Details, he Just said:
"...Your Car is Very Old, go get a New one..."
So, Seems like I Lost the Chance for Now...

My Friend called again, the Salesman needed more Details about my Ride and the Parts I Needed, so my Friend gave his Cellphone to the Salesman to Talk Directly to me.

What he said is total BS, but I'm not surprised. When will your friend visit you? He may still have time to order from Rockauto or a good Subaru parts place like subarugenuineparts.com.

Hes's Coming Tomorrow Morning, so I'll Travel to the Capital City Airport, but Also I've Called to the Local Subaru Dealer There, Asking about which parts they have to Rebuilt my actual Calipers... Again!
The Salesman said something About a kit with New Pistons + O-Rings. So I Have a Question:
is Worth Buying New Pistons for my Old Calipers?
I Tought that Those will Never need to be Changed...

Well...
I obtained some extra Money and went to the Stealership to buy New Parts to Rebuild (once again) my Subie's Front Calipers; also I Asked for a New Hill Holder Check Valve, just in Case I had Enough Money...
First I Asked for the Price of a Brand New Complete Caliper, The Salesman Show me this:

Yes, They Have it but Only two for the Left Side...
...and is Very Expensive

its Cost is around $ 180.ºº US Dollars, but the Funny Thing is that Subaru Wrote...

... Cariper, instead of Caliper...
That's a Japanese usual Translation Mistake, to Confuse the "L" with the "R" Letter? I remember something about an Aporogize for a similar Confusion...
