== Repair ===== Stuck or Sticking Brake Caliper ===Calipers do seize up, the pistons mostly. If there are a lot of miles on the vehicle (60,000 miles) and a caliper seizes, the one on the other side will follow shortly. Consider replacing them both. Two other possibilities are: guide pins not sliding for some reason, flexible brake hose collapsed internally. Most likely it's the piston issue.When replacing the caliper make sure you know the torque specifications for: pins, caliber bracket, banjo nut, lug nuts. Use non oil based synthetic brake lubricant.  Don't let the caliber hang from the hose while you are working.
