Brake ????

Last night took truck to fuel up. While fueling I could smell brake burning. Found that left rear caliper was sticking and very HOT. Anyone have advice on how to free caliper. Going 50 mile today to daughters house to install a new kitchen floor will watch it very close.

Pull the caliper and lube the slide pins. If that doesnt work replace the caliper

I had the same problem when I stored my truck for a year. I just smacked it with a hammer a couple times. (used to working on heavy trucks) The slide pin lube is a better idea though.
