Just checking back in:
Recently I have replaced my right rear caliper, replaced both rear brake lines pads rotors ect. bc i was noticing when braking over 60 mph the car was shaking. I figured it was do to the right rear brake sticking for the longest time causing the rotor to warp so i went ahead and replaced both rears. after bleeding the lines thoroughly again and drove the car around for awhile i could still feel the brakes sticking???? there is still more heat coming off the right rear brake than any others. also when accelerating i can feel little vibration in the rear as well as when i brake it still vibrates like the rotors are warped. any suggestions/comments will be helpful. this is pissing me off and im running out of ideas!

I dont doubt this one bit..brake fluid attracts moisture.. and everyone knows what moisture does to metal..

Short maintenance goes a long way.

I have even saved a caliper on a CRV (Fairly new, but it sits alot)
Caliper was sticking a bit-I bled it, and it stopped sticking..didnt replace the caliper..I think thats not normally the case though especially if its been awhile since your last brake fluid change and also it wasnt sticking terribly on this particular vehicle.

What do you guys do when brake bleeders have lost the caps and are tough to turn, and you risk braking them? Torch?
