Default BRAKES & THROTTLE BODY CLEANING

Just wondering how to clean my throttle body.

Also my driverside rear brake is sticking. I notices the other day i could smell burnt brakes and the rotor was realy hot. It doesn't happen all the time just once in a while. I don't know much about brakes so what do you think.

thanks

Sounds like a sticking caliper. Get it looked at before it ruins the rotor, rotors ain't cheap!

pull that caliper off, there are rods that it slides back and forth on...they should be well lubed, ifthey are, make sure the caliper can slide smoothly over them. i've never had the calipers off of my truck, just speaking from experience on my wife's piece of **** olds., i'm assuming these are about the same....if not, i guess i just wasted some of your time. if i did, just have another drink and enjoy the nice weather.

if you take your brakes apart you'll want to have a c clamp to push the piston back in. Otherwise its a pita to get em back on the rotor.

Oh that and dont forget a hammer to knock the calipers off
