== troubleshooting and repair ===== stuck brake caliper ===You are stranded on the highway and your break caliper is stuck, the disc is so hot the metal has tinted blue and it is smoking.  Do [http://forum.chryslerminivan.net/showthread.php/8254-Anyone-deal-with-a-stuck-brake-caliper NOT spray WD-40 on it you idiot]! WD40 is basically a mix of oil and gasoline, stuff you don't want to introduce to hot metal.  In a pinch, silicone spray lubricant is a better choice, but you need to stop and wait for it to cool down, up to a full hour.  Then if you must you can spray it with silicone.  You need to get that caliper to loosen up, so you can get yourself to a safe place.  Use the e-brake to and be light on the brake pedal so you can get your vehicle to safety.
