When I needed new rotors and pads on my F150, I just pushed the caliper pistons back in like I've done for 35 years, and cleaned and lubed the other components. Set off to go on a hunting trip and seized a caliper within 15 miles from home. Freed it up with a pry bar, stopped at NAPA, got two rebuilt calipers and a jug of brake fluid, and 3 hours later was on the road again. The pistons get weathered by the salt, sand, and water and don't slide as well as they did when new.

72 hrs of fishing SoCo, not a felony in all 50 states.
