Ok for anyone that is having problems with frozen calipers here is how u fix them.

Tools Need: Sand paper, Grease(sp) , Impact Gun (or hammer and punch)


Step One : remove wheel Duh ....

Step Two : Open up brake res.. and remove brake pads...
Now for the fun part

Step Three : Take the impact gun and start slowlly next to one cylinder and tap back the capiler.. once is starts to move back a little move to the other side... and keep doing that till the caliper is open and fully extended...

Step Four : take sand paper to the cylinders and get all the rust off don't be scard to get in there and grind those babys real good.... after you have done that put some grease over apply freely ..

Step Five ... put everything back to gether.. pads back in... close the res... put the car in the on position and pump you brakes till they feel tight again... take the car for a spin and test out your brakes ..
