Well, the grabbing feeling going down the highway was solved. The front right brake lower sliding pin was rusted closed. I am not sure how this is even possible, but at some point in time I pressed the brakes and they locked closed on the front right. This destroyed the inner pad and was causing a grabbing while driving. I am really surprised I did not have more damage. The sliding pin was completely rusted in place. I soaked it for several hours with penetrating oil, that did not help. I heated it with a torch and that did not work. So, I attached a vice grip to the pin and placed a scissor jack under the vice grip it started lifting the entire front of the truck up. I thought this was going to work or something is going to break. But, it did work and the pin was finally removed. I cleaned the pin with emory cloth and the hole with steel wool and a flat head screwdriver. I made sure all the pins were properly lubed this time. I changed all brake pads on the trucks. Yes, I should probably have turned the rotors, but I think at the next brake change I will just replace them.
Products used:
- 4 sets of NAPA brake pads
- One quart of Prestone synthetic DOT 3 brake fluid
- Small amount of Mobil 1 Grease for the sliding pins
