Caliper's frozen - from what I can tell it's affecting the inside of the caliper, not the outside (as there is DEFINITELY a brake on in the right front, and there's space between the outside pad & rotor). > If you need details, I'm sure someone here can give you more. I'm afraid I've never done brake work, and could use a thorough walkthrough including draining/bleeding lines, tools necessary (I think I'm all set, got a bunch of metric sockets and torx sets out the wazoo), the works. I feel pretty comfortable with wrench-work, however I know enough to know that I'll need guidance on this first brake job :)
