front brakes sticking, what all to replace?
I'm curious to know what all should i replace when I go to fix my brakes.. I swapped pads about 2 months ago and found that my driver side caliper is pretty messed up. I plan on gettin new calipers for the front, new pads, and having a pair of spare brake rotors machined...
Does this sound like a good start to fixing it? should i get bearings? are they hard to install? never really messed with brakes before, and my searching abilities didn't find me many answers.. thanks!

i would replace the rotors, pads, BOTH calipers (to prevent uneven braking), grease the sliders, repack the bearings or replace them and the races, and bleed the system thoroughly, starting with the right rear, left rear, right front, and finally the left front.

sounds like u've got a handle on the situation. ur wheel bearings r probably just fine, just make sure u clean all the old grease out of them and re-pack them with fresh grease before installing them into the new(er) rotors. and i agree, now is a good time to put stainless steel brake lines on it.
