Sticking Brake Caliper
My driver's side rear caliper is sticking. I think I need a new caliper, but hope you guys can clue me in.
The facts:
- Sliders slide fine
- Ebrake works fine
- Pads are not stuck
- Piston is aligned with pad properly
- Piston rotates. It was sticky at first, but rotates freely after a little turning.
- Brakes work fine
So do I get a new caliper or what?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Sticking Brake Caliper (TodaSi)
It's only the driver's side rear caliper that sticks.
I haven't bled this one since spring, but I don't see what difference that makes. Fluid was changed 1000 miles ago. SS lines and speed bleeders installed then too. Brakes work fine. Master cylinder is fine.
It's not the bearings. The wheel spins freely once the brakes are removed.
