One thing I learned rebuilding a caliper piston is to not let the pedal go all the way to the floor. I went through several master cylinders (the NAPA guy at the counter thought they were bad masters) before I was told by a brake mechanic after explaining my issue, he said 'you're blowing your master cylinder seal when you go all the way to the floor, put a brick or block of wood behind the pedal to stop it from traveling all the way to the floor.' Sure enough by doing that it didn't blow out and was able to unfreeze both front calipers with those kits saving several hundred dollars.

With brake parts that look and function like that and with the relative low expense of all new parts, caliper, rotor, bracket, pads it just make more sense to buy and replace with new parts.

I know it is too late for a response being a 1-year-old thread, but for future DIY freaks, here is an insight. I had a confounding problem with my Chevy Cruze Diesel for more than 6 months when the calipers would not release after lifting the foot off the brake pedal once it got to high temperatures. The brake assembly used to be serviced the usual way at the authorized service centre by greasing the slide pins with appropriate grease from many different brands, but to no avail. The mechanic then felt it was the synthetic brake cylinder seal, but that too was not the culprit. I then decided to do a DIY of the problem and found out that the caliper pins were not the problem at all and neither was the piston rubber seal. The actual issue was with the front disc brake alloy pistons of the brake caliper assembly. Do not ask me why but the composition of the piston used in the Cruze Diesel in Bhaarath (India) was suspect as it enlarged minutely over time (it was not the brake cylinder rusting); I sanded it down and then cleaned it thoroughly and put back the assembly, and it has been a smooth ride ever since. Fuel efficiency too has gone up from 9kmpl to 14kmpl as there was severe drag from the brakes. Acceleration too has gone up by leaps and bounds. In my particular case, the piston was the culprit and not the sliding caliper pins, brake cylinder or the brake cylinder synthetic seal.

I have been a mechanic for years. I do not recommend using brake lube on the the pad ears, but instead under the shims that the pads slide on. The issue that happens over time is the uncoated steel under the shim rusts and expands, pushing on the shims/pads making them tight. The proper solution is remove the shims, clean the rust, grease where the shim goes, then reinstall shims. This prevents the rust buildup under the shim. The shims always seem to be stainless steel in my experience and dont rust, pads slide easily across them without lube. The lube on pads can attract dirt and grime and be counter productive. I have not seen any new cars where the manufacturer greased the pad ears, but they do grease the slider pins obviously.

I just replaced brakes that were worn all the way down to metal pad. Caliper looked fine, compressed very easy. Moved in and out smoothly but would cause brake to drag when brake was released. After playing with this for a couple days I just replaced the caliper, but never saw anything wrong with it. Problem is now gone. Seems like the piston would only stick when under a load but when caliper was off vehicle worked perfectly.

Soemtimes piston will only stick when they get warm. Tiny amount of sticking and/or usign the brakes creates heat, which causes more sticking. It's a vicious circle.

I see mechanics going 50/50 on using brake grease on the pad ears. Bendix recommends using grease on top of the clips (shims are actually what you used to put on the back of the pads) in their KZitem video, Bendix Brake Pad Installation. I use a wire wheel where the pad clips attach to the caliper bracket and use brake parts cleaner to remove every bit of rust. Then put a little ceramic brake grease where they contact the bracket and use a little on top of the clips like in the Bendix video. I also like to remove the slide pins, flush the hole with brake cleaner and blow out with compressed air, clean and lubricate the pins with Sil-Glyde. Make sure the top of the pistons are clean but be careful about damaging the boots or damaging the pistons if they are phenolic, not metal. Most quality modern pads don't require adding anything to the back to quiet them, they are pre-shimmed. Also very important to check the hoses if the brakes have been sticking. The 3 main reasons for sticking brakes are stuck pins, stuck pistons or bad hoses that have collapsed on the inside.

Here is how I quickly diagnose and then repair: 1. Large difference in thickness of inner and outer pad = Slide pin issues = SERVICE SLIDE PINS BOTH SIDES, make sure slide pin boots are not cracked or torn. 2. Even pads in caliper but difference in thickness side to side = sticking caliper, or unlikely brake hose issue = REPLACE BOTH CALIPERS ( not worth the time to service, calipers are generally cheap and 1 hour trying to remove, resurface pucks, replace seals, and very likely service a broken bleeder = waste of time ) NOW... IF BRAKE FLUID WAS CHANGED EVERY TIME BRAKES WERE SERVICED, I DOUBT THIS WOULD EVEN BE NEEDED. 3. Rotors look like these = REPLACE THEM !!! It's not worth having an accident because your braking is diminished by rotors not making full contact with the pads... My rule of thumb, replace rotors every 2nd pad change, flush fluid ( most cars can gravity bleed ) every pad change to keep your calipers from getting sticky. By doing this you keep moisture out of your parts and ABS systems can be expensive to repair... A can of brake fluid is about 6- and if you do it every time you service front or rear brakes you likely will not have bleeder issues either... My 2cents.... Having an accident because your brakes aren't working 100% is a bad bargain, for likely $150- per axle and an hour or two of your time could save you thousands in accident damage and prevent you from hurting yourself or your family.... Driving a car with these rotors, and pads worn to the metal before repair seems to me to be irrresponsible....

Piston is retracted by piston O-ring. It slightly twists when force is applied and when untwisting it pushes piston slightly back and prevents brake drag. Worn O-ring doesn't work so well as has rounded edges. So everything should be smooth. You should be able to push piston back by hand(use a handle) without need for special tool. If special tool is needed O-ring or piston is bad.

Over half of the replies here are obviously from people (the sky is falling !- the sky is falling!) with no experience as they do not know how good this video displayed type of service works. Some are stupid enough to think that new brake fluid keeps the bleeders from rusting solid. The pistons stick from rust forming between the dust boot and the piston, not in the bore itself. And NO, buffing the piston does not decrease it's size and increase the chance of leakage under high pressure. What imaginations some of you beginners have.😂

I have always had problems with sticking brakes on the passenger side front wheels . I have drove some beaters (beaders) but most had low miles . I am hard on brakes . On my Dodge diesel I am on a second new set caliper and the b**** just started sticking again after 5000 miles ,I changed U joints ,bearing, roaters, brakes, and calipers this last go round. Brake hoses?

Should replace both front calipers in that instance,I personally would also be replacing my pads and rotors(both sides,one axle)

Yes- I agree this is a great video on how to diagnose and repair, but I also would have just put a new caliper on that due to it's condition. (That one set of pad were wasted to the bare metal!) Still, good to see how to do it IF you chose to.

yoooo....that's A LOT of rust on that rotor, especially those brake pads that's as a Hot N' Ready cardboard pizza. 😂 Nontheless, thank you for sharing this video with us!

When you remove the caliper (or brake hose) to work, what about the leaking fluid? What if the leak empty the reservoir? Or goes down too low? Thx
