I just need to vent

The thing is I replaced all my calipers with brand new rebuilt ones less than a year ago and it's the same F'ing side that seizes up. I just want to pull out my hair. Maybe it's just bad luck, but I'm going to blame it on the damn car.

Replace your proportioner valve. its probably the culprit. But we have all been in the same situation. Ive had a DSM as a DD most of my driving years. Its a rough path, but dont give up, you will regret it when you do. Thats just my .02 cents.

If it's in the front, why would you have a proportioning valve? Also if you have a line that is different than the others, why not replace that first? I don't know about dsm calipers, but my rears (and maybe fronts, i can't remember) have these slide bolts, and both sides of my rear brakes had rusty, pitted slide bolts. A new set and they slide freely. My e-brake cables were also at fault, but a lot of wd-40 and a friend helped to free it.

My "rebuilt" caliper from the parts store got stuck about two years and 20k miles later. Sucks.

Yea I had to rebuild my rear ones on the 1g, probably 2 times in a couple years. The ebrake usually is the culprit as well.

Not on a 2g, the ebrake is separate from the caliper.
