Default Gonna try to fix it tomorrow.

I finally bought the caliper lube/synthetic and had the tire off but found out i had the wrong hex bit. Had to get a 7mm so I'll try tomorrow. I am praying its just the slide pins since the rims is solid brake dust lol.

Default Did i miss something?

I only noticed two bolts holding the caliper to the frame of the truck. I assumed theres where the slide pins and lubed them very well, is this all that I had to do?

should also be some sort of guides where the calipers will rest and ride on, there too clean off with emery cloth and put never seize on it.

Default Slide pins.

I looked at a pic but it says dodge ram.. but it shows the slide pins/mounting bolts having 2 washers that go against the caliper surface, is this right? God i feel so stupid.. i did not grease where they slide and rest. http://econtent.autozone.com:24991/z...52800c0d0f.jpg
