took off the driver side wheel. The brake pads are on the rotor and i can barely turn the rotor by hand. I guess my calipers siezed up. Whats my next step. Everything that is happening is the stuff that I never did when I was a kid. No experience with bearings or brakes.

Replace the calipers,pads
have the rotors measured for life left...replace if necessary

I would be checking the rear as well.

The alternative is if you are rich and there are brake companies that have coupon's for brake jobs

Go to www.rockauto.com to price out everything.

brakes were done about 4k miles ago. The pads have a lot left. The rotors didnt look damaged. I imagine I will need to replace the calipers, and maybe replace the lines. Im told that the brake fluid can eventually eat the lines. It has sat for a long time with little driving. I know calipers sometimes do that.

sorry, I mis-understood
I took pads are "on the rotor" as "down to the rotor"

Okay. just remove the calipers and either exchange them or try to clean them up first.

For what ...$13.00 each ..labour vs money ?

how hard and costly would it be to replace the brake lines going to the front brakes? I dont want to have to get back into it again if just replacing the calipers doesnt work.

You can buy brake lines at www.inlinetube.com if you can't find them locally.

Price out this stuff locally so you can compare to online.
