Mike and I were planning on hitting the boneyard near our house sometime this week.
You want us to look for one?

i can get you one from NAPA for about $60.
the kicker is the core charge of $101.
but you get that back when you bring back the old caliper.
so i guess you determined that it was the caliper sticking and not the e-brake cable?

I should be at a j-yard this Saturday. I know they don't have any SVT's there, but there are other 'Tours.
Let me know.

there you go thats cheaper, especially if there isnt a core charge.
unless specified the calipers do not come with pads, so you are looking at about another $30 for them.
but if bill can get you reman tomorrow for $50, then that is the way to go!

Bleeding isn't too hard. You do need a helper though, to pump the brake pedal.
Check this for a good How-to.
Good luck. Disc brakes aren't hard, heck I've worked on them on my 'Tour and my wife's van.

I think we might have a set of rear stock pads for either the Cougar or SVT sitting at home from when we changed over to aftermarket pads.
isn't that kind of a bad idea or is this just a temporary fix for you?
