many sticking calliper issues are actually just stuck pads.

To be fair NMJ the carriers should be cleaned each time you replace pads... Removing the carrier to clean these out properly also gives you the chance to remove the sliders clean and re-grease them before refitting/rebuilding the corner |

If I'm replacing a calliper (and I've had to do it many times on the 3 we've owned - at least two per vehicle over the time we've owned them), I always get a new carrier as well - it just saves time later down the road |

I agree craig, just pointing out that it’s not always the calliper itself which is the problem. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
