Hey,
Looking for some help here. My wife has a 2001 Chevy Blazer. I know, it's not a Buick. Anyways, front left brakes were making a ton of noise. I pull the tire and the caliper and brakes are down to nothing. One of the caliper pistons is stuck or frozen in the out position. Anything I can do here? Or do I need to get a new caliper. I definitely need a new rotor now. I asked her how long it was making the noise for and she said, "oh, a little while" arghhhh! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll have to get a rebuilt caliper and probably a rotor. If $$$ is a problem try checking your local boneyard.

Just found out that vehicle is still under warranty. Spoke w/ my neighbor who is a service manager at a local Chevy dealership and he'll be able to get it in tomorrow morning. Now I just have to put it back together again.
Thank you!
