>"And of course those stupid seals on those old front calipers from the 80'and 90's GM were so good. The caliper could not could not slide on the bolt to equalize. One pad would wear out and not the other. We would cut those out on the first brake job . Then they would work fine and the pads would wear evenly. Oh did I say I hate disc brakes . And if they are so good why do they have to fall back on an old drum brake for a park brake."
Unbelievable. What does the caliper seal have to do with the pins freezing up? The pins freeze because they rust up, either from not enough lubricant or because water got past the seal on the bolt.
Some vehicles use drums for parking brakes because it's CHEAPER and simpler to make a drum parking brake than to add parking brakes to disks. There are plenty of vehicles with four wheel disk brakes that don't use drums.
