My left rear brake is once again hung up after replacing the slide pins and greasing them up, everything slid fine with I put it back together. No problems at all for the last month until tonight on my way up the left rear locked up completely at a red light, i drug is for a couple feet and it freed up, not the brake is hanging just enough that after going a little ways smoke starts rolling off the brakes.

Why is it doing thing all the time even after replacing everything imaginable?!

 

Once water has penetrated and rusted/corroded the slides its time to get new calipers, I have tried a few times to dismantle and regrease them but within a month or two they are dry and rusty. I suggest new calipers.

 

Looks like I'm going that route, replaced guide pins, rotors, pads, rubber lines, goes 2 miles down the road hit the brakes and they're hung up again. I even took the caliper apart and rebuilt them, must be bad pistons...

 

This happened on my front passenger top slide pin. After I got my truck, i did a brake job and discovered that the top pin was seized. Had to hear up the bracket to get it out. I tore up the rubber boot in the process lol. Still can't find a new rubber boot lol. Anyways I cleaned uo the pin and inside hole on The brake bracket and greased everything real good. Once a year I just go in and re grease everything and it seems to be working.
