The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
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.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. Replace all. The flex brake lines do become restricted, causing the caliper to delay in retracting, or sticking. === replacing the brakes and rotors ===Remove wheels. Reference [[Disc Breaks]] for a general guide to removing the pads and calipers. Remove the brake caliper bolts and hang the calipers to keep the weight off the brake line hose. Remove the caliper supports:[[File:mitsubishi_lancer_caliper_02.gif]]See rotor assembly. Be aware there may be a small phillips screw holding it to the hub.[[File:mitsubishi_lancer_hub_02.gif]]=== replacing wheel bearings ===Remove the axle nut, lower ball joint nut and separate the ball joint from the knuckle. Pull the axle from the hub but not the transmission. Unbolt the brake hose from the knuckle and the knuckle from the strut. Press the hub from the bearing and remove the bearing snap-ring. Press the bearing from the knuckle and press the new bearing into the knuckle, install the snap-ring. Cut the inner race from the hub and support the bearing inner race and press the hub into the bearing. Reassemble the knuckle to the strut, the axle to the hub and the ball joint to the knuckle. Torque the axle-nut. Install the rotor to the hub and the caliper support to the knuckle.

Removal of the primary serpentine belt is necessary to access the rear belt. The rear belt is for the alternator only.{{ upload pictures here }}[[Category:Tangible Product]]
