So last August I ended up smashing the front of my G6. I expected the car to be totalled (somehow a 2005 G6 with 106,000 miles doesn't get totalled with $7,000 worth of damage) and figured I would take off my Brembos to resell and put my stock ones back on before I took the car to get the claim estimate.
Welp, long story not so short, I snapped one of the bleeder screws once I got the car back and put the Brembos back on. Went out and got new bleeder screws and a reverse thread bolt remover and the damn thing snapped off inside the hollow bleeder screw. In a fit of anger I just ordered a new caliper for $160 and here we are.
Driver's side 08-09 Cobalt SS Brembo brake caliper. No issues in the 13-14 months I had it on. Only a couple very minor cosmetic flaws pictured below. Would be perfect for someone looking to upgrade to Brembos and wants to save $100 for a little bit of work.
Asking $50 plus shipping.
Also comes with two new bleeder screws and still have both rubber caps for them.
Here you can see the bleeder screw. You can drill into it and try to back it out using plenty of penetrating lube.
Tiny tiny chip on the guide pin hole. Would never see it once the guide pins are in.
Here is the worst cosmetic flaw. Cause by hammering in the guide pins. It's the back on the caliper so no one would ever see it.
