I have a 86 IROC with messed up brakes. The front drivers side brake doesn't work so when I hit the brakes it pulls right. After driving it for a while like that it locked up. I replaced the caliper but it didn't fix anything. Any suggestions?

Replace both calipers, they're only $10 each. Besides, whenever one does something to one side of the brake system, it's best to do it to the other side too.Originally Posted by wanab03ss
