They Seldom Go Bad. Inspect For Leakage And Sticking. If Yours Stuck Replace It, And The Brake Hose Also. One Reason We Have Trouble With Calipers Is Not The Caliper But The Brake Hose. The Hose Will Rot On The Inside Not Allowing The Brake Fluid To Flow Back Into The Master Cylinder There For Causing Calipers To Stick. If Yours Isn`t Leaking It Should Be OK. Be Sure To Inspect The Brake Hoses, If They Appear Bad Replace Them. GOOD LUCK

How do you change the front drum brakes on a ford wind-star mini van?
The front brakes on the Windstar are disc brakes. The rear brakes are drum type. You need to know exactly which parts need to be changed and why. If it is just the pads its pretty easy to do. But if the rotors are bad too, you will need to remove the calipers to access them then re-install the calipers with new pads. If you are not sure what you are doing seek advice from a mechanic

How do you replace discs rotors and calipers on a 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 when they are totally worn out?
You might not need to replace the calipers, but pads and rotors will need to be changed, if it was metal to metal. You would open up the bleeder screws on the calipers, and use a big C-clamp to force the pistons back into the caliper. Then remember to close the bleeders. The rotors come off after removing the calipers, and if not, then the wheel bearings will have to be taken apart, and checked, cleaned and repacked before reassembly.
How can you tell if you need new brake calipers?

Calipers do not have to be changed in pair unless both are bad, however the pads should be changed on both at the same time, since they come as a set, and you can use them to detect brake issues from one side to the other, by wear of the pads.
