I plan to rebuild the emergency brakes. I actually bought an entire rebuild kit but once I got into it found the cables were completely rusted and seized. I hadn't bought cables. I disabled at that point because I thought that might be what was seizing up.
Bought new front calipers a rubber hoses. Just too damn rusty to mess with. I plan to tear into it tonight.
Forgot to mention, this isn't my daily driver. Hunting/errand truck, so it can sit a couple weeks between trips. Often the brakes are stuck when I start it up to leave (sits outside).
Thanks for all the help and info!

I get my brake fluid flushed every 3 years. The dealer thinks I'm on drugs (we never do that), but I did it on my last vehicle and only replaced the rear wheel cylinders @ 99K, still had original calipers. master cylinder, and ABS modulator. Honda recommends this on all of their vehicles (every 3 yrs), and I've used it on my non-Honda vehicles with great results, It's cheap brake insurance.

You say that like you expected to have to replace calipers/MC/abs modulator at 100k? Pretty sure all those parts should last to 200k without a fluid change.....

Maybe not @100K but, if you keep the scheduled maintenance up on the brake system ... you may never have to worry about it.
