My left rear rotor is a bit rusty, I don't think the caliper has worked for at least 6 months or more, the others are clean and shiney. I tried to punch the pins out that hold the brake pads, but they are so badly rusted that the ends pf the pins just mushroomed under my hammer and punch. I may have to drill some of the pin metal to get a better set for the punch and hammer.
I am afraid to try turning the bleeder screw, lots more rust. The brass coupling for the brakeline to the caliper is rusted and refuses to turn.
And, this is just the passenger side! The parking brake cable is also not moving on this side.
I wouldn't mind replacing the caliper with a reman, but getting the brass fitting off is a problem. The last time I tried doing this I would up breaking off the brass fitting, and I don't want to get a new brake line.
