Can you fix a caliper?
I don't notice any wobbling so i don't think my bearings are bad but my right front wheel doesn't like to spin when the truck is jacked up. I was wondering also what size allen wrench i need or hex nut to take the caliper off. My mileage has went down 2mpg and i pray its cause my dragging brakes lol. Any help would be nice.

Cool.
Never even thought about that. Just gotta get the right wrench to take them off. I try to do any repairs myself that are possible with a 10.00 toolkit lol. Pepboys wants 281 to put one caliper on. I can buy one for about 52.00 and probably put it in easily. Lol to save me some time i might just have pepboys show me whats wrong then have my father in law come fix it with me.

Ya don't use grease and, you don't use never sieze. You use Sil-Glide.
It's water resistant and is made for just this job. Odds are you've warped the rotor
if in fact the brakes have been dragging. Do as said above with the emery cloth.
Check for galling on the piston and slides. Looks bad after you clean i all up,.. Break
down & spend the bucks for a new one.

you can use never sieze. ive been told this by 2 different diesel technicians, both in which case were my instructors in high school and college.. so go figure. not trying to pick a fight with ya JB, just giving you a heads up. granted people have different methods as well but that's just personal preference.even using it on wheel studs is recommended, since shops like firestone or monro muffler and brake like to zip off the lug nuts and zip em back on with an impact gun pounding the snot out of them without using a torque wrench.
