you're just having a hell of a time with your brakes arn't cha? Is this the same side that had the line explode? The explosion may or may not have had something to do with the caliper failing.

not a bad price, but did you get one with a lifetime warranty? My dad has them for his suburban, and like 5 years after he bought them, they honored the warranty with lttle hassle.

they got calipers for my '87 bonnie at Advance for about 14 bucks (unless i'm mistaken and it was more like 30 but in any case its cheap) (remanufactured with a lifetime warranty).. it sounds like a good deal to me but then again from my experiences at advance a lot of their lifetime warranted products end up needing the warranty (namely alternators going bad a week later.. but in 1 in 3 are great.. and they exchange with little hassle too.
Anyway glad to hear you got it out, i changed my brake hoses yesterday, wasn't too bad a job
