oh yeah, and wd40 is not a valid way to fix a problem...

its probably frozen cuz the piston is all rusted and eventually built up enough friction on the seals that it wouldn't move... my rear one was frozen... and then I took the rubber boot off and sprayed it with PB blaster and did my best to dissolve the rust. I cleaned it for the most part but its a long term temporary fix. last time I did it was 2 years ago... and then it froze again...
just replace it if its the front one... this was my rear disc and the cheapest I can find one is $137

whoa $137...i just got a whole new front L brake for $48..and that is everything including the brakepad...
ok this might sound kind gay but it had a new pad in it...should i use it, its only on that one side, and when my front R goes bad ill just change them out...or is that bad?
