How do you unStick a Brake Caliper
Unable to compress one of the front brake calipers. Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

Open the bleeder valve?
You can get one of these at any auto parts store, and they work pretty well. http://www.ipdusa.com/products/6627/...iding-calipers
If its frozen, get a new caliper.

I second buy a new one. Refab calipers are cheap.

On a different truck, I had a flexible line fail internally and it was completely blocked (which kept the brake from working, which is why I was trying to get it apart ....). Opening the bleeder valve would have allowed me to compress the caliper (but I would have missed my real problem).
