The Brakes Stopped Working?

Teeth to grab what was left of the pad lol. The caliper seal blew out and lost all pressure, and while it sat the front to rear line rotted.

I just got around to doing the brakes on a cherokee I bought. The guy I bought it from said " I was driving it ocassionally and the brakes just stopped working, so I parked it". Clearly he did not maitain this vehicle. Here is a picture of the rotor and I don't know maybe the reason "the brakes just stopped working"???no

LOL, that's f'n special, bet the rotor cools down a lot faster with the fins exposed.

Had a similar thing happen to me years ago. A guy I knew brought his dodge truck into the shop. Just got it, had it "safetied" by a buddy 3 weeks ago. Brakes didn't feel right. Brought it in. Pulled the wheels, the factory clips were still on the drums. The drum on the right came off in 3 pieces.

Are you sure that's a rotor and not a ring gear?
