You need to spot weld the notch and then grind it down. I have to do the same thing on mine - my symptom is that occasionally on a strong brake press they will catch and I'll swerve to one side - fun! Changing my rotor, caliper, pads, brake fluid, and greasing the knuckle helped alot though

Have same issue on my 98. Put on new calipers and replaced original flexible lines. Also tested brake fluid. It was on the high side for water content. Drained and replaced. I think when I replaced calipers 3 years ago I left the cap off the master for a few days which probably led to the high water content. Live in the Southeast so it is humid. Will see.

Just had this exact same issue today. Front passenger side brake dragging and heating everything up. Lost my dang hub-cap too. Thanks for the vid....it will help me out.

Fantastic video my friend. Greetings from Belgium.
-
Not sure about the grinding. It will create an uneven rust point and catch again. Had the exact same.issue years ago. Used JB weld , high temperature. You sand it back flush. Worked perfectly, never had issues after. Ideal is spot welding, but JB is fine if you are not setup for welding. Just wait 24 hours for full hardness before using.
-
Another great video. A little grinding won’t hurt. Can you do rear drum brakes?
-
One thing to add: Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that is absorbs water. That in itself will make brakes fade, grab, and stick! Change that fluid out, if it has been more than two years!!!
-
Same thing on my Jeep ...Its was the master cylinder...replace the Master and all was good....
-
As a 60yr old mechanic, PUT ON YOUR KNEE PADS! Trust me
-
Only curious, would spraying the caliper piston with brake cleaner help? I'm having the same issue with my 94 YJ and I took notes from your video. I will get the grease & do this Saturday. Thanks for the video.
-
Thanks
-
Its a little drippy drippy today but that's not going to stop us...... 2 moments later I'm actually going to head inside, its starting to rain....lol I don't wanna get my gear wet. Picks up days later because you didn't wanna work in the rain.😅

Any input on why my parking brake light won't turn off
-
I would have at least spun the wheel a few times & checked IF IT WAS BINDING. That caliper will eventually GO BYE BYE, HOW LONG ? Change both sides when it does, as 4x4 Scout suggested below, GREAT ADVICE THAT I LIVE BY. I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE ESPECIALLY WITH OWNING JEEP'S. I would also change the brake fluid out, it's probably burnt. I do mine every 3 years just as regular MAINT.
-
Thank you. I really like your videos ! Its been quite a while now but can you post an update on your fix ? Did you have to change the knuckle ? I have the exact same problem. And I am wondering what did the groove in the first time ? I would also fix that so it does not come back. Thanx !
-
Hi Do you interested in getting more lighting upgrade for this Jeep? We got more stuff with great brightness looking for sponsoring this time!
-
Oh and that caliper was starting to seize. That issue will come back and you will need to rebuild or replace those calipers. Calipers should be replaced as a matched set. That's how I do it anyway. I'd be real careful adding grease in places where it can collect grit that can then wear out components. Fun times. I'd take that rain off your hands. Going to be 100 degrees today here.

You should not grind anything, but should have spot welded the notch and grinder it down to its original specs
-
A few weeks ago my brakes where literally smoking because of this northwestern heatwave.
-
I also agree with the other comment: You never grind on anything that is a mechanical connection like that. File a bit maybe, but never grind!
