Seized rear calipers B2 CQ

Does anybody know if the rear calipers on my 1987 CQ can be sent off for exchanged units? Or will they need to be rebuilt?

Try brakeparts International. If they don't have replacements, they should have a seal kit. Overhaul isn't difficult.

Brake parts international as Dave say's should offer exchange unit's, their a very common caliper.

Rebuilding them yourself isn't hard as long as you have a vice and the wind back tool, though if the pistons are rusty their only any good for exchange purpose's.
