I have a 1980 Chevy 1/2 ton PU. Took it out today to do some work on the track
at Maxton. To my chagrin the brakes pulled hard to the left. So when I got
back I pulled the right caliper and it was stuck. Couldn't even get the piston
to slide back in with a C-clamp.

Wanting to fix this thing quickly so I could use it again tomorrow I went to
the local auto parts and bought a rebuilt replacement caliper. Put it on and
tried to bleed, but no luck. I can get fluid to fill the caliper but not
enough pressure to make the piston push the pads against the rotor.

Left side has pressure so the Master is working. Heck it worked this morning.
Anybody have any idea what's up with this thing?

John B.
