what would make a caliper stick other than a sticky caliper
1987 raider
the driver side caliper was sticking so i replaced both with used v6 calipers and the driver side is still sticking
what are the odds of two driver side calipers sticking
is there anything else that would do this, booster, dirty fluid, etc...

I allways replace rubber brake line any time i have a caliper sticking because 1/2 the time it is the problem not caliper but i hate bleeding brakes so i replace both at same time.

brake lines really
i wouldnt have thought of that one
ill try it and see

i just recently rebuilt all 4 of my calipers. but one had a semi bad seal that i decided to ignore. my bad as it got stuck about 2 weeks ago.

it is best to dismantle and repair your own calipers. the rebuild kit is only $7 here in cali. it is very easy to rebuild the calipers.

this way you will know the exact condition of your stuff.

i do not know about the lines as mine are all new.

So, how'd you make the caliper mount on top of the knuckle?
