I replaced the front brakes and rotors on my 99 RT. Everything went well until the test drive. Got about 2 miles from home and the drivers side front was smoking bad. I got it home and it cooked my new rotor and pads.
Long story short, the caliper seized. Any way, put on a new caliper, rotor and pads, bled the brakes and all is good.
FYI, when removing the caliper pins, I did not have the correct size hex bit to remove them. Dug around in my toolbox and a T47 Torx Bit fit perfectly. Not sure if all year Dakota caliper pins are same size, but it worked fine, no stripping and fit like a glove.
