Troubleshooting a dragging front brake caliper Hey guys,
I installed stainless steel brake lines last year along with new front calipers because the factory ones were dragging. Well to my dismay I jacked up the car to switch rims and have discovered that the front passenger wheel has a dragging caliper. I greased the slider pins when I did the install last year, and checked them again (they are fine). Also, I used a c-clamp to press both pistons back into their bore to try and free up anything in the caliper (unsuccessful). Does anybody have any advice to pinpoint what is going on?
