My Passenger side rear brake has been sticking off and on for about 2-3 weeks now, and has gotten worse. I replaced the pads, greased the sliders and greased the mounting bolts and it still sticks. If I jack it up and push the brake pedal it is very hard to turn the wheel. If i hit it with a rubber mallet it loosens up, but still feels like it is rubbing some. I also bled the fluid and that didnt help at all. Do you think the caliper is shot?
 






Yep, that's what I'd prescribe. Either remanufactured or new.
 






yes
