I have noticed on my 1993 Ford Escort wagon that the bottom pin on the front right caliper is loose. Periodically, I'll have to push it back in ~3/4". My wife noticed a ticking noise coming from the wheel and it was because the pin was actually hitting the inside of the rim. My guess: it worked its way out and then got sheared off by the rim.
Remove the wheel and tire assembly and the brake caliper then the brake rotor will slide right off.
yes it has to be remover but the brake line can stay attached
Remove wheel Re-install 2 lug nuts to hold rotor in place Disconnect flexible brake line Remove caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotor
Sticky caliper.
If the front brake caliper is sticking, the disc may be uneven. Brakes that are left to scrape on the disc for a long time before they are changed will damage the disc enough to cause sticking or slipping.
Front emergency brake? Do you mean a frozen cable? If front brake is locked may be a frozen caliper Emergency brake tied to rear brakes only
brake hose is bad
You either have a bad brake caliper or the brake hose is bad.
The caliper could be hanging up. Or your right front brake line could be coming apart or kinked. that will cause it to pull left.
Defective caliper, restricted hose, caliper sliders sticking, contaminated brake fluid (probably not contaminated if only 1 front caliper).
If the front brake caliper is sticking, the disc may be uneven. Brakes that are left to scrape on the disc for a long time before they are changed will damage the disc enough to cause sticking or slipping.
two bolts in the steering knuckle and the brake line are all that attach to the brake caliper
