    Pistons stuck inside Caliper

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    One pad on driver side went south quick, pulled off the caliper and 2 pistons on one side are stuck in the caliper and not expanding (even when pushing the brake pedal). Ideas? The other 4 pistons seem to be moving fine. Should I replace the caliper? If so, source to purchase from?

    Do you have it disconnected from the brake hose? If you are still connected to the brake hose it could be a collapsed hose that has you locked up. If the caliper is totally disconnected and the pistons are still stuck then it’s probably time for a new caliper.

    Still connected to the brake hose. I'll take a look at the hose again, thanks for the reply!
