Nope.

Bad o ring?

 

what are we looking at...fuel injector leaking?

 

@Area51Runner check your fuel trims, if it's leaking that bad they are probably way outta whack

 

You do realize I didn't even quote you this time around right lol just outed yourself

 

As soon as I posted that I knew you were going to post that meme lol

 

From my trusty mechanic mr. google

"To remove a caliper piston that has become seized, the hydraulic pressure of the brake system itself can be used. Remove the caliper from the disc, and pump the brake pedal to move the piston past the corroded portion. Now you should be able to disassemble and rebuild it."

unless you've tried that already

 

Fuck those people. Ruining perfectly good trucks.

 

Pull it off and spray PBBlaster on it and let it soak for a while and then try again. You also might need to clamp the other pistons into place to help direct most of the pressure to the seized piston.

 

@Running Man says the calipers are off the truck already so he's trying to free the pistons by hand I guess, I'm not sure how he'd do it in that case.

 

Like fully unbolted and not connected to the brake system? Just buy new calipers at that point. Fuck trying to rebuild them. Tundra upgrade?

 

yep

 

Hooke the stuck one up to the truck and see if you can get it to break free. Unless you can figure out some other way to create hydraulic pressure without doing that. Or use em for cores?

 

cores x2

 

Yea, why would you buy used parts when you work at an auto store

 

[The Art of the Deal]

 

Yesterday when I got home, I scared myself thinking I locked my key in my truck. Fortunately that wasn't the case.

Today, a Promaster with Locksmith services plastered all over appears; they're looking at buying another Promaster so I asked if they would be able to cut me a spare. Takes my key, 30 seconds later, I get a new one and the guy didn't even charge me lol

He'll get my referrals whenever someone needs locksmithing services.

 

Use the truck and make sure your ready for a mess.

 

I actually have a master cylinder that leaks but works for popping them out... got it rigged up to a foot pedal and just hook brake lines up, pop the bleeder open, get air out and pump the thing till the seized one comes out
