A look at a damaged front caliper

You may remember from before the crash that I had a stripped brake retention pin that allowed one of the four pads for my left brake caliper to fall out causing issues.....Here is a look at what happens.
Damaged piston
side view of piston notice the angle of grind. I'm suprised that it didn't pop the piston out. I rebuilt the caliper replacing seals and piston, the bore wasn't marred.

That's amazing, as I said before you were very fortunate this didn't turn out worse.

Couldn't agree more. Like I said, I am suprised the piston didn't pop out. By the way, rebuilding the caliper is actually quite easy.
