You ever get to the point where you just get fed up with these cars because it is just maintenance issue after maintenance issue?
I am in desperate need of a rear brake caliper for a 91 sentra. This is the second one i have had on there and it is leaking again. I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong or what but it's leaking from where the e-brake bracket is attached to the back of the caliper with the cam bolt.
Also, somehow I have managed to lose my key lock to my wheels. Not sure where to get one or if anyone has one? They are NX wheels with the OEM wheel lock set on them. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

There are copper washers on either side of the banjo fitting where the brake line connects to the caliper.

yes... this happens to everyone all the time
its what happens to everyone.. i blew my trann's, a week after i get that in, and axle snaps... before that. my motor mounts were shot and would knock a hole the heater core hose.. i have one car, a daily driver. and its driven hard, daily... so you have to expect things to go unless your wrenching daily..
also.. it sucks when ur cruzing and ur alternator tensioner bolt comes out. and your alternator falls down, not holding the belt at all.. the battery and brake light come on.. and ur cruzin home deading the battery...
problem after problem.. we all get it.

The rear calipers have a tendency to leak through the seal where the E brake crank goes through. That is most likely due to bad rebuilt calipers. I went through 3 in the course of a couple years recently.
Matco or snap on sell wheel lock removal kits that you hammer down over the wheel lock and then use a breaker bar to remove the lock. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mac-Deluxe-Hubcap-&-Wheel-Lock-REmoval-Kit-Model-4000A_W0QQitemZ110312632224QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20 081115?IMSfp=TL0811151110004r23495

You can usually accomplish the same thing with an el cheapo socket.
