This is on my daily driver so I gotta get this up and running.
89 v3500 dually 454
Ok so my front brakes are jacked up. Pass side needs a rotor those pads were gone. I can't get the drivers side off at all. Took out screw soaked it all down and it won't budge. How do I get it off. I can see the drivers side pads are like new.
So questions
1. What causes the one side to wear and not the other. I have had a slight pull and death wobble when braking. The pull was to the right.
2. How do I get the driver side caliper off. That piece won't budge either direction. I broke a hammer handle and screw driver tip trying.
3. Do I have to take off the lockout snaP rings and spindle nut to get the rotor off? Do the bearings need pressed in or can they just be dropped into place and reinstalled. What about the dually hub? Is it just bolted on from the rear cause that's what it looks like.
My plan is to pick up a few extra shifts and go buy front calipers the new bendix pieces the rotors and some better pads since I'm gonna be going all the way. Part numbers would be awesome. Also what about bearings and snap rings for the lockout and rotor inner and outer. I'll need part numbers for them too. Oh and brake lines just in case.
How bout a member in the Dayton area of Ohio. I'll feed u and I got beer in the fridge. If u wanna come help me. It would be awesome.
Thanks everyone and hope u all have better luck than me

When you removed the Allen bolt are you removing the locks after that?
Bad hoses or a sticky caliper can cause a pull.

Locks? I just picked up new parts. There's the metal piece that slides. The allen head bolt. The little leaf spring and these metal clip looking things. Is that the locks? When I pulled the passenger side out it didn't have thay metal clip.

the "leaf" spring and the Slide is part of the locks. Post a pic of what you have.
