How can a brake caliper just seize

[zc911]

so there i am driving home, when the truck starts pulling to the left, i think to myself ahhh **** i know that feeling, sure enough ig et home, and teh rim and hub are HOT, mother ****in caliper is seized :upy:
i got so much shit to do this week this was the last thing i needed :bang:
i think instead of freeing it up i am gonna go visit crappy tire in the morning :mad:

Probally faster just to change the thing. Probally the last time you un seized the thing it would have been fine. but remember you play in the mud you pay. Thats stuff gets everywhere, and it doesn't matter how well you "spray" it all off.
I do not think Canadian Tire stocks Suzi calipers but that was when i checked. I think that you may have better luck at UAP or something.

as long as you ask for an88 or newer caliper the should stock them. i,m pretty sure they are all the same back to 85. this goes the same for brake pads.

i have a UAP and automotive only crappy tie 5min away from me :) so i'll try crappy first see what they say.
I think i'll pick up 2 new front ones, 2 new discs and pads.
They wehre getting pretty thin when i unsezied the caliper last time.

In 1985.5 ie the sj413 aka narrow track samruai the brake pads and the brake pad mount were unique to that year. The calipers are interchangable.
They are easaly swapped out to the newer brakes.

The 85's used sj410 front brakes and Sammy rear brakes but without the parking brake.
