Caliper Locked up - Hurrah!!!

Had the right rear caliper seize up, burn through the last of the brake pads and do a pretty good number turning the brake disk into metal filings.

It was fantastic!

The heat! The smoke belching out of the wheel well! The hundreds of dollars in parts.....

Downside - Lots of $$$ in parts.

Upside - 24mpg solid over the last 2000 miles. Up 4 mpg just from changing the rear calipers!!!
