    My 2006 Sport Tacoma's front driver's side caliper is seized. Its all rusted up and i can tell it has the pads seized a bit, there is all kinds of heat coming off that side and when i brake the truck pulls to the passenger side. I got rebuilt calipers i want to install for both sides, and it seems like the bleeding procedure should be straight forward from what i read in the repair manual. My truck doesn't have vehicle stability control so it should be a standard bleeding procedure, correct?

    Any input would be appreciated, I don't wanna get half way through this and be stuck with no brakes.

    Make sure you unbolt the bracket for the rigid line before you remove the caliper so you don't bend the hard line.

    for sure, although it is so rusted up it will probably just break on me anyway.

    You can buy prebent hard lines from the dealer. Might be worth getting.

    that was a great idea, i ordered the 2 brake lines and i'll be picking them up today. $15 for both of them, that is worth it to me.
