T/A brake problems
hello,
Today i was Changing out my brakes (Rotors, pads the whole sha-bang)
when I test my Calipers to make sure they were still good(due to a suggestion that they weren't). They Worked, so i put new rotors, and the pads on, but kept the calipers, but when i tried to the calipers on they were extremely difficult to put on, even when the pistons were collapsed. so after some hammering, i got them in. After a quick test drive, I discovered to my dissapointment that the brake pads were still hung up and had already scorched my new rotors!
basically the problem is that my calipers, refuse to let go, any advice/fixes would be appreciated

Re: T/A brake problems
Sounds like your calipers are bad,I would put on a new set of calipers also,this way you know that everything is all new and won't have the hassle of pulling everything back off again.
