I was finally able to get an alignment yesterday, when my front driver side caliper starts smoking. Luckily I was like 5 mins from my house. Pistons are seizing, time for a rebuild. I took them apart and was able to un seize the driver side but one piston on the passenger side wouldn’t move. So just decided do take them out and start the rebuild on the calipers. I was able to take them apart and degrease them today. Tomorrow I’ll get some really fine sand paper and remove the rust from the piston bores. While I’m at it, I’m going to repaint the calipers, install new pistons/seals/dust boots and do new pads/rotors. I bought my truck from Chicago 6 years ago and haven’t replaced the brakes. Then again, I’ve only driven my truck only 15,000 miles in those 6 years. I finally was ready to start driving my truck then this happens, never fails. Pictures below.
