Brake / Caliper Issues

[Lissa]

I have a 2010 Grabber Blue V6 with Ford Racing Exhaust. 24,000 miles. Everything is pretty much original. After getting home from work on Monday, I noticed my driver's side wheel was covered in black and awfully hot - looks like something got stuck on. (No, not my emergency brake!) Hit the caliper with a hammer and it came loose and drove to work yesterday fine. On my way home the brake pedal in the car went all the way to the floor.

Anyone else have any similar issues?

Do you know if I replace everything myself if I can bleed the ABS brakes myself or if I need to use a computer? Help!

Thanks!!

You should be able to bleed the brakes yourself, but I'm thinking you need to take that side at least apart and 'see' what happening - but it sounds like a caliper is broke or seal popped
