need help quick :( [double post]
 
I just went to do my brakes (rotors and pads)

On one side I can't get the lower piston to compress, I don't know what to do!!! The top slid right back no problem, the bottom one won't budge. I have never had this happen before with any car.

Does this mean the caliper is in need of rebuild/replacment or am I just missing something. I even cracked the bleed and feed line incase it was a pressure thing... nothing

thanks in advance for any input

If you're sure that the piston isn't already pressed all the way in, then it sounds to me like it's been stuck for some time. The seal must have been compromised. Either you need to rebuild the caliper yourself or get a new one.

That's my opinion, anyway.

thanks for the quick respones guys. I was afraid it was rust and the fluid I just bled was pretty dark. I'll have to find a rebuilt or two :(

I was 90% sure it was toast, but I needed some other people to confirm it. Thanks


...Got a pair of new ones on the way
