Default Rear Caliper Boot

Can someone please tell me where I can get a rear caliper boot. I was a bonehead and ripped it while changing the pads.

I don't think you can. You have to replace the caliper IIRC.

Default You will need the brake caliper rebuild kit shown below

Do the other side too. You'll also need the proper brake tool, because without it the job is a pain in the ***.

Thanks for everyone's help but the boot I'm looking for is the dust boot for the caliper piston not the caliper pin. While compressing and twisting the caliper I must of snagged the boot and ripped it.

So what do you guys think, buy a new caliper because of a few minutes of stupidity?

Bump from the 2007 as I have the same problem. It looks like WorldImpex (they rule) has this part. Would anyone be so kind as to confirm it works for the 01 A4 1.8T AWM? The "Applications" list on their site conflicts, or maybe I'm reading into it too far.
