Actually as strange as it may sound, before last week I would not have known the supplier of my front two calipers. So, even though one would seem to reason that I should know this information, I simply don't. As ridiculous as that might seem; I needed the receipt to remind me the details about the other parts as well. Yes, I changed the brake fluid, bled the system; I have done brake work before and have had no problems in the past. The other three wheels are doing fine. So, it is likely a faulty caliper. My brake lines are whole and holding pressure. I am quite perplexed by this series of events. The brake noise. Discovering the frozen caliper after 18 months. It is a mystery to me.I am trying to identify the rear calipers so that I might contact the manufacturer as some calipers have a 24 month warranty.
You are both probably correct about the rebuilding idea. I will likely reconsider my rebuild attempt. Although last time I checked around here the salvage yards wouldn't sell me a caliper. I think it was a matter of liability and safety and them not wanting to be responsible. The guy might have claimed it was the law. I will check again and if it can't be had there I will get a rebuilt one. Thank you for the input. I appreciate your help and insight
