[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 1028419, member: 58988"] I tend to agree. Some prescribe to the belief that the cost of calipers is low enough to justify replacing them each brake job as a preventive measure; I don't. To me, the failure rate of calipers is far too low to justify the cost and additional labor. Fix what's broke. Inspect the brake fluid and consider a full flush. Inspect the pads for uneven wear that [i]may[/i] indicate uneven caliper movement. Often this is caused by the pins being dry or having rust on them. Inspect, clean and lube as part of the pad replacement. [/QUOTE]
