Are rear calipers interchangable?

Can i use a rear caliper from the drivers side on the passengers side

(i have a bad passengers side caliber and a good spare drivers side one)

If not can i use the good one to rebuild the bad one? How do i do that?

No I think. The hole for the hose that is drilled is usually offset towards the lower part of the caliper so that the bleeder hole is up as high as possible. Look at these hole and you will find your answer.

In a word ..... NO! There are separate part numbers for right and left rear brake calipers. They do not interchange ..... sorry.
