 Although sometimes they seize up in the bracket so you have to replace that too (but not the caliper). I've had a stuck piston on my truck calipers a couple of times, you know that is happening because you'll smell burning as the pad drags on the rotor generating a lot of heat. I can usually fix that with a $2 piston seal.
