My son's Paseo has a stuck left front brake caliper from what he describes, wheel pulling, very hot to the touch, smell. Anyway, we're gonna pull the wheel and take a look at it tonight. Been awhile since I worked on brakes (1963 Austin Healey), but I assume the basics are the same (yes, the Healey has disks). Also, this is front wheel drive, so if I jack it up and put it in neutral, do I need to get both wheels off the ground to see if one turns freely? Second, if I pull the caliper off and pull the piston out is the fluid sealed beyond that or is fluid going to come out?
And recommendations welcomed.
Thank you,
