[DeTomaso] Front Brake Caliper Piston Sticking

[B Hower]

 If you still have OEM brake lines.....go there first. A line can lock up pads and keep them there...... Don't ask how I know.

  Very recently noticed the left front brake is late to apply and late to
  release, causing significant swerving.
  Was thinking it might "limber up" with additional driving, now
  wondering if more driving will only make it worse.
  Got to Alameda and back + San Ramon and back earlier, both ~100 mile
  round trips, no issue.  This started after that.
  Am signed up for a multi-hundred mile event on the first, been too cold
  and rainy to do any tinkering.  So maybe I get stranded with a locked
  wheel.  Or the problem just goes away.
  Thoughts, predictions, experience ?
  Thanks,
  GD
