Having problems with a sticky caliper on a 1996 Nissan sx?

Floating calipers can bind on the mounting hardware, causing them to wear one pad instead of both, usually you can clean up the caliper pins or replace them. rear calipers with emergency brakes can have cables seize, replacing cables is the only fix The caliper can stick if it is overextended, replacing the brake pads and checking to make sure the rotor is not worn too far may solve the problem. If the pads and rotor are not worn the caliper may need to be replaced.


Is the brake caliper on a ford focus threaded If not WHY do you need a special tool rather than two G clamps and a bar?

The bolts that hold them on are threaded, the pistons are NOT. If they won't compress, or are stuck, you need new calipers. New calipers are cheaper than having them rebuilt. Try Pep Boys, JC Whitney, AutoZone, etc.

Why am I having starting problems with my 2001 Honda CR-V?

Due to its age - MANY possibilities: battery needs re-charge or replacing - spark plugs need replacing - ignition wires need replacing - distributor needs replacing - fuel filter is clogged - fuel pump needs replacing. If you are handy, many of these can be done by you, if not, you will need the services of a mechanic. They ARE durable and long-lived, but the parts don't last forever.
