Message We tested it by jacking up that side and taking a wheel off and pressing on the brakes. The side with the wheel still on will make a popping still while the wheel with the tire off will become quite. With the wheel off the rotor isnt secured and the noise from a sticking piston won't be heard.

I already had tired greasing up everything and it did nothing. Once the calipers were rebuilt the popping went away. Evidently 15 year old calipers will begin to stick after you take it to Thunderhill :D

Rebuilding the stock calipers is pretty easy seems with rebuilding the hardest part is getting the piston out, there isnt much to grab. Once you get one out using compressed air does nothing because it by passes though the opened bore.
