Alright kinda stumped on this one. I was changing brakes all the way around on my 92' coupe (w/o ABS). My pass side caliper decided it wanted to spring a leak. I went ahead and replaced the caliper. Bled the brakes went to go for a test drive and smelled something terrible. My pass rear caliper decided it wanted to seize. Tried re-bleeding the brakes and reset the piston. Caliper is still seized but not near as bad. It completely demolished my rotor and it looks like my driver's side rotor is a pretty shade of blue as well. Any 1 got any ideas?

the pins that allow it to slide back and fourth are siezed. pull them out and get some synthetic brake grease at napa. also when you have them out, clean them off with brake cleaner.

some rotors will turn blue after the pads are broken in, http://www.stoptech.com/whitep...h.htm
