warm locking hubs
#8
caliper piston removed?

caliper kits? or a new rebuilt caliper from raybestos, is $37 on rockauto.com
rock has new piston the seal kit and even new guide pin kits. all very cheap. and many choices..

id get the raybestos.rebuild.
if doing your own rebuilds.
the piston must be 100% rust free on the outside ! no pitting allowed.
and the caliper bore seal groove same, no pitting.
a new seal , allows the seal to help the piston retract ,called stiction.. there are 3 forces that help this. stiction, rotor natural wobble and natural wheel bearing play .002" and pad springs.
some cars (MPG mod) installs stronger springs on pad to make them retract better. i dont think they are necessary, good brakes do not drag, moving.
