There's smoke coming from the back right tire and I wanted to replace the rotor and caliper.

Hello thanks for using 2CarPros. here is a guide to help with the caliper replacement. The caliper piston may be frozen or the rubber part of the brake line may have collapsed inside causing the caliper to hang up on that side.

I got the instructions on how to do it, but it says something about removing caulking and putting new caulking?

Hello,

This car has rear drums? Here is what they show. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

Vehicle type is listed above. It has calipers in the rear and front. Someone's instructions says something about losing the caulking around the axle nuts.

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone of the brakes so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response. Did you check out the guide AL514 sent? Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
