This video covers how to rebuild a seized brake caliper on a 2003 Ford escort in Chicago ZX2, although the techniques shown apply to most brake caliper designs by many different manufacturers. It is an in-depth guide on how to do this job without the need for power or air tools.
The most common way a brake caliper becomes seized is due to the caliper not floating on the slide pins how they should. This video shows one method on how to fix that problem as well as replace the hardware & bushings on the caliper.
