How do you know if your brake calipers are bad?
Normally a bad brake caliper will stick when you apply the pedal and then slowly release. It will make your vehicle feel as if the brakes are applied even when they are not and then slowly they will release. Eventually they will stick and stay stuck. It is worth mentioning that squelling or scratching noises are not neccesarily a bad caliper. Those noises are usually caused by the brake pads themselves either sliding on the caliper or the scratching sound is probably the brake wear indicators letting you know you need new brake pads.

Make sure the area where the pads rest on the caliper is free of any rust as they must be able to slide freely back and forth as the brakes are applied and let off.If rust builds up they will stick and drag. Also make sure the sliders move freely. I found that when i did the front brakes on my 89 tracker there was rust under the stainless clips which was binding up the pads. Clean under there. Before you reinstall the caliper over the pads try to move the pads in the clips they should move freely.
