So I picked up a cheap daily driver. 2005 Chevy Classic Malibu. Needing some small things including front brakes. Replacing the pads and rotors it was obvious they were dragging but that could have been because of corroded slides rust Etc. After replacement the driver side was 30f hotter than the passenger side on my infrared heat gun. Based on other cars that tells me it's either the caliper sticking or the brake hose is collapsed inside. So I ordered brake lines and a new caliper because it's cheap enough to just shotgun it.
Well it didn't work out as planned because the brake hose is rotted to the brake line
So looks like I'm replacing just a caliper for now. Which gives an opportunity to see what it really was that was dragging and making heat.
And then I open the cap for the first time. What's this floating?
