have a 67 coronet rt with stock discs up front. Just had a stock (1 piston) caliper stick for the 2nd time the other day. does anyone make a 2 or 4 piston setup for the front that will replace the single slider units?
Uncle jerry knows bestHave you disconnected the rubber brake hose on the stuck caliper? If that lets the caliper release, replace the rubber lines on both front calipers.
The car was swapped years ago to the single piston sliders from drums (i was told). I replaced all the hoses , calipers, hardware, rotors, pads, etc a year ago (almost to the day). was driving and the front pass just started smoking. you could feel it pulling. Just don't want to put the same back on and have the same problem. i will try to get some pics up in a day or so but any ideas?
A lot of people use the wrong parts when they do these conversions. Wrong calipers, wrong hoses, etc. Without some pictures I can't tell you if you have the correct parts and if they are correctly mounted. For example, if your brakes hoses are kinked then that might be the problem. Or if you don't change your brake fluid on a regular basis then perhaps the piston rusted in the bore.
The single piston setup is very reliable if it is properly installed and maintained. That is why I think you have some other issue. You can buy new calipers from Doctor Diff as well as the correct hoses.
