Brake calibers can be rebuilt, but my advice is to just replace it with a new one. Be aware that if one is sticking then more than likely your brake fluid has become contaminate with moisture. I would replace both calibers and not just one. Remove all the old brake fluid and install fresh fluid from an unopened can.

How do you remove front rotors on a Jeep Liberty?
remove the caliper by removing 2 bolts on the inner side of the caliper (15/16 size I think) then pull the caliper off the rotor. dont remove the brake hose or let the caliper hang by the hose (set it on a bucket or use a piece of wire to tie it to an A arm) then the rotor will pull off easily.
Why would your front wheel lock up?
Probably a frozen brake caliper...Possibly a bad weel bearing but i dont think it could stop the wheel completely.
What Tools are needed to change front rotors on a 2002 Chrysler sebring?
Floor jack, jack stand, a tire iron, and I think this one is a 10MM socket to remove the caliper from the back. Hang the caliper on a coathanger so as not to crimp the brake hose and hang it out of the way. The may be a small retainer on one of the lugs, so you need a screwdriver to reove it. Then just pull on the rotor and it should pop off the hub. Replace and put everything back together in reverse. As long as you're at it, replace the pads and compress the caliper pistons with a C clamp so as to open the caliper up to receive the width of the new rotor.

very simple take front wheels off then then with wheel turned (left /right) arroding to side, put a heay screwdriver between rotor and pad in slot of caliper slightly force piston in to keep pads loose, then there are two bolts hoding caliper on i think they are 15mm take bolts out get a wire hanger to hold caliper up so u dont stretch brake hose, if rotor is rusted on or tight hammer off clean hub of rust slide new rotor on put back caliper and tighten bolts.
You replaced your brake pads and the new ones burned up what did you do wrong?
You put them in wrong If both side wore out, you would think master cylinder. If one side only, caliper is sticking or the rubber hose connected to the caliper is bad. The inside of the hose can flake off and plug it.
How do you move the rear brake caliper on a 97 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme to fit the brake pads?
they must be screwed in because the e=brake is built into caliper. there is a tool kit that uses the grooves on piston but you can use channel lock pliers to turn piston don't chew up dust seal around piston .the right side is clockwise to turn in i think the left is ccw to turn in when piston starts moving in you going the right way. make sure you line the slots on the piston with the pins on the brake pads if not lined up you never get caliper on good luck ps when all done pump and release the e brake 20 time to self adjust the pistons
What do you think about electronic hand brake on a vw passat?
My 2006 VW Passat has electronic emergency brake. It was already broken down twice. It would not release. The second time they had to replace the caliper and module an this repair cost me $1700. I'm in the market for a new car and will NEVER purchase a car that has an electronic emergency brake design.
Is brake rotor on 2003 Toyota corolla part of hub assembly and how do you remove the rotor?
No it is not. I own the same car and have done over 3 brake jobs. All you have to do is remove the caliper bracket bolts (2) and the caliper slide bolts (2). Get the caliper out of the way by a bungie cord and your ready to remove the rotor..Oh yeah! Most people think it is connected to the hub because the rotor is rusted on to the hub pretty tight...Use a rubber mallot to tap off rotor. Hope that helps out...
