Brakes not releasing
The front brakes on my 93 Explorer are not releasing once I activate
them. I also believe that the wheel bearings are going out. Is there a way to fix the brake calipers without having to replace them and has anyone else encountered this problem? Thanks in advance, Jason |

If they are, the pistons in the calipers might be binding up and it might be time for new calipers. You could try taking the calipers apart and cleaning out the pistons and replacing the seals, but it might be better just to get new ones. |

Brakes not releasing
I recently replaced the brake pads and lubed the slide pins then. The
calipers are relatively cheap so I'll probably just replace. Thanks for the input. Jason |

You may have a bad hose/s to the caliper/s. Dave |
