hello i have an 86 ranger when i brake i get a hard pulling to the right side no brake fluid leaks or kinks in the lines. frozen caliper? any other ideas?
 
Could be that the left isn't applying as hard as the right.
 
get both front tires off the ground see if there is more drag on that side chances are that caliper is bad(sticking)
 
Check the caliper. Worn piston, seal, dirty bore or buildup of corrosion affects the performance of your caliper. Flushing the fluid periodically prevents corrosion in your brake system.
 
I have never heard of a piston getting stuck in it normally sticks putting pressure on the pads overheating the rotor. If both wheels stop when you lift it off the ground and hit the brakes something else is wrong. Around here you can take it into any tire store and get a free safety inspection they have to tell you everything that is wrong. I put the parts in myself and will give them the alignment as a courtesy.
