Default 90 Accord Caliper ?

I just picked up a 90 Accord LX,2dr,AT w/59k miles and I'm pretty sure I have a brake caliper hanging up on the drivers front.I've called a few local places and nobody has just 1 caliper for sale (only a kit w/2 calipers&pads).Autozone said they are not available to them?Which I find REALLY strange b/c I bought 1 from them last April for a 90 Accord LX,5spd, 4-dr that I owned and since sold.

Are these calipers that rare? Does anybody know if a rebuild kit is available? Maybe someone has one for sale here? Any help at all will be greatly appreciated,It has new rotors & pads up front and I need to get this fixed soon so I don't scor the new rotors.
TIA !!!

Caliper hanging up meaning the piston is stuck or the caliper pins are not floating in the bracket? Make sure you know what it is before you start throwing parts at it. The piston seal and boot are available from Honda.

where exactly have you been looking for calipers at? i have never been to a parts store that would only sell them in pairs, or that even offered them in pairs.

You can get calipers for 94-97 and they will bolt right up

Yep it works, I did it with a friend when I upgraded to NSX calipers, so I know it works (94-97 brackets and calipers) on a 93 accord
