Can you drive a truck without one of the rear brake calipers? I need to get my truck home to work on it..

Ive driven with no foot brakes at all just use the emergency brake. But yes if your not loosing brake fluid and your pedal has pressure drive it.

Clamp the line off and remove the caliper or tie it outa the way. If fluid is allowed to push against the piston, they could push out to far n start leaking. Needle nose vise grips work good to clamp off
