Stuck caliper
I pulled the caliper off and thought I might find a rebuild kit but I can't get the piston out. I heard it should slide out with compressed air but this thing doesn't budge. Should I just replace both of them or is it worth fixing?
Didn't mean to get ahead of myself but the passenger front was locked up. I am replacing the rubber also but found that I could not move the piston. I had replaced all the hardline 4 years ago but the braided was on back order. Sure enough by the time I put it back together and started driving it I got the braided in the next week.

Re: Stuck caliper
you can get re manufactured front calipers from most auto parts store for under 20 bux each. cheaper then doing it yourself. not sure if there is a core charge.
