Well the 5 lug conversion keeps getting worse. I took the calipers off today and noticed that on each caliper, one of the pistons looked like they were stuck I checked the pad and low and behold the wear was also uneven. I opened up the pistons with a c clamp and they opened up just fine, didnt take any abnormal force or anything. Are the pistons stuck and do I need a rebuild or what? Thanks guys

 

mine were stuck when I rebult. reassemble them and use stuff<hammers,sockets> to rotate blowing the pistons out. Use a rag inbetweeen them so the dont get dented. They should not be pitted. 2 of my 8 pistons were pitted. THe lady at the junkyard saw them and gave me an exrta caliper to use.

 

This is why I wouldn't buy a used 5 lug upgrade parts list, just get the hubs, and brake lines, and buy rebuilt calipers/new rotors.. I just don't trust used brake parts.

Yes, you'll want to rebuild/inspect both brake calipers.
