Both front calipers seem to be "pinching" the rotor to the extent that its hard to turn the front wheels with the car jacked up. I'm trying to decide the best way to approach this, try and pull the pads, which are +-90% or just pull the calipers and plan to replace them. What I'm wondering, is there anything I can do to "free' them up, on or off the car? I noticed the car not rolling too freely when I pulled it into my shop to address another problem. The car had been setting for a month or so but the calipers are really not that old. Maybe I need to drive the car a little, of course keeping an eye on the temp? Anybody else experience this sort of problem?
