Rear brake caliper issues

[Judoons00]

Got a Rhino 450 and I am having issues with the rear brake caliper. I bought a replacement in eBay and the brake pedal went soft, fluid leaked from the emergency brake arm, too. Before this I had an OEM one which didn't work as well but it did not leak.

I'm tired of replacing parts already. anyone else had the same issue and managed to resolve it? Please help before I lose my mind!

Sounds like you might have an issue with the caliper seal or a bad replacement part causing the leak. I’d recommend sticking with OEM or trusted brands to avoid leaks and pedal softness.

go back to a genuine OEM caliper, flush and bleed the system properly, and make sure all fittings and lines are tight. That usually fixes soft pedal and leaks

I feel your pain. Brake issues will test anyone’s patience, and I can say I've fallen victim to that countless times. One thing you should know is that the eBay calipers are hit or miss, and leaks at the parking brake arm usually point to bad seals. So going OEM and doing a full bleed is sadly the right move here.
