Thanks everyone for their help this weekend with the frozen caliper.  It’s definitely dead.  Looking over the old receipt, that one was a rebuilt one and the passenger side was a new one.  I have a list member sending me 2 good used calipers that I hope will work out.   This will be the first time I’ve ever bled brakes so I might need some handholding this week when I attempt it.  I bought a bleeding kit that I hope will work better then yelling at my wife from underneath the vehicle.   Removing the caliper looks straightforward.  I see a sample in Ken’s video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0NGUkfOg6w .

Thanks,
Bryan
