Nolan,
I bought a car that was stored for tooooo long outside and had the same
problem. I disconnected the calipers, hoses etc then hit the caliper with a
sledge and a 2x4 to cushion the blow. It loosened up real quick.
A Pantera Eh? I went out with this girl many years ago whose brother
disassembled a Pantera, put the parts in boxes and left it that way for
about 10 years or so. Probably the car is still in pieces +/- 15 years
later.
