They just cleaned it up and greased the pin. I brought my car in a couple of months ago hoping they would still cover it. They came back wihth a quote for $1200!! I ended up having them put it back together and bought the parts and did it myself. I think you would be better off buying remanufactured calipers vs. OEM replacements, especially if you can find them for $80. I paid $200 each from Sewell, but had the $500 gift card from Lexus, so I didn't really pay for anything.

I don't want uneven pad wear or any other trouble with the braking system.
