Brakes...now after

I've had rears and fronts drag from poorly serviced calipers.   Flushing
the fluids once or twice a year doesn't always guarantee you trouble-free
calipers, especially if you haven't taken the calipers apart to check
internal conditions.  I've found pistons with intact seals and boots that
still were rusty under the rubber.  Possibly a PO's torn boot replacement
without also servicing the cylinder and piston, but more likely the
circumstances of use.  I'm sure some condensation occurs while driving
during winter.
