If it is locked up then replace that caliber and remove and replace all brake fluid in the system.
Usually brake calipers are not repairable. It can fixed only temporary, and eventually you will have to replace it. PS: the problem with steaky caliper is that it might lock at some moment, and there is not way how you can unlock it if you are not in your garage. You do not want one of caliper get locked somewhere on highway.
could be the cylinder on the brake caliper is locked up could be the cylinder on the brake caliper is locked up
Most front wheel drive vehicles do. -The caliper in all vehicles is fixed and the 'floating disc' is the brake rotor.
removing caliper 1996 olds aurora lockedNote that many times the "locking" can be caused by a sticking e-brake cable rather than a locked caliper. Check to verify that there is some slack in the cable at the caliper when the parking brake is released. If not, the cable may be seized in its jacket somewhere, and will have to be freed or replaced. If the caliper is locked, you will need to disconnect the brake line to remove the line pressure. Then disconnect the e-brake cable, then the caliper. If it is still stuck, you will need to retract the piston inside the caliper - sometimes they stick and you have to lube the caliper and hit the caliper with a hammer lightly or it can crack. Another way is to CAREFULLY heat the caliper with a torch until the caliper expands and releases. If any question please e-mail me Ben. thejamesclan5@msn.com good luck!Don't try to re-use a caliper that has locked. While you may be able to free it temporarily, they almost always end up sticking again. The cost of a loaded new or remanufactured caliper assembly is cheap insurance against it sticking any time in the near future.
Remove the tire. Check the brake caliper to see if it's locked up. If it is, remove it and see if you can clean the piston. Caliper kits are available from PerformanceProducts.com for $16 to $28. If the caliper isn't at fault, you may have spun a wheel bearing. This is quite a job for an experienced mechanic ( I dealt with mine on Christmas Day 2007). If the locked tire is in the rear, and your calipers are okay, then you might have a locked parking brake.
A vernier caliper has a moving jaw and a fixed jaw. The moving jaw has marks to set against the ruled divisions on the stem of the fixed jaw. A micrometer caliper has a micrometer clock gage whose hand turns to provide the fine divisions added to the marked scale.
