Well, today was going good. Finished up the new waterpump instal to get rid of the leak. Was able to take it for a spin for the first time after the lift was installed. Found some death wobble but cured that with a DIY front alignment, then of course, something had to f*ck up.
All of a sudden the jeep started pulling hard to the passenger side, then under braking, pulling hard to the driver side :huh:
At this time I start smelling a nasty burning smell. I get home and look under there to find a slight amount of smoke coming from the passenger side brake caliper, and the farker is hot. Jack it up and the wheel won't spin, at all.
I am assuming the caliper is now stuck. I am going to pull it off and try to diagnose it. I have never run into this issue before, so any help would be thankfull...
-Pull caliper
-check and lube slide pins
I would assume the only way to diagnose this is to try and push the caliper back in, if it doesn't move, well....
Can you rebuild these calipers?
Any suggestions?
I am near the end of my patience, must wheel soon...:wow:
