rear brake problem
they wont release a the way and sqeeking a little..and burning them up..there brand new pad and the rotors and calipers were replaced last time..what could it be? this happened last time and i replaced the calipers and all was good

i mean the metal portion of the pad where it rests on the rail of the caliber, i have had them be so tight that i needed to file them to fit properly.
if they cant move freely on the rail they will bind up and ruin the pad, rotor, or worse.
and yet i continue to buy them.....damn you autozone points!!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds logical. If it is both sides I would look into that. If just one side maybe you need a brake hose. You can't tell from the outside if they are bad, they collapse on the inside and restrict fluid flow.

Make sure you can slide the pads on and off by hand with ease from the caliper bracket. If they are too tight you'll have that problem. I so, make sure surface rust if off the bracket using a file/sand paper. Dont go crazy or they will be too loose and slam around when braking.
If the wheel is tight like the brakes are held on without the pedal down, crack the bleeder. If they free up you may have a hose problem.
