Anyone know what my problem could be. The passenger side was worn down and needed replaced the other side had around half the life left. When I try and move the vehicle I can feel the drag on the what feels to be like the passenger rear wheel. It's now raining so I figured I could ask for some help before I go back out into it. Thanks

 

Is the parking brake still on or not fully disingaged? I believe there is a switch on the parking brake totter peddle up underneath

 

Or fluid level

 

Did you compress the caliper piston all the way back into the bore when you put new pads on?

Did you have the bleeder screw open when you did this? Hope so...really do not want all that old dirty fluid pushed back into the system.

Check the fluid level, bleed both rear brakes. I have let gravity help me in the past.

The caliper pistons seals may need to be replaced as the piston can get wedged and will not retract. The seal kit is cheap, but it is not easy to get the pistons out, but using compressed air will force them out. Replace the piston seals and dust boots and bleed again.

Or just get rebuilt unloaded calipers for a quicker solution. I think they are like $20 each.

Good luck.

 

After messing with it for alittle last night in the rain the parking brake light went off. But the caliper is seized up I think. Cause it prematurely wore my old pads out. I never opened the bleeder when I compressed the piston back in. I've never done that with any of my vehicles. Oops. I'm picking up a rebuilt caliper from advance auto for 35. I'm not sure if my rotor is warped yet or not gotta check that out this evening. Thanks. I'll see how I end up tonight.
