yeah i used the piston retract tool...i got it down and i got the pads on but when i first tried to take the caliper off it was stuck on the pads really bad and now when i put everything back on i notice that the rears are stuck...i jacked up the back of the car and both of the wheels have a lot of resistance like the brake is on...

 

Mine made the scraping noise too when I put new hawk pads on. But after awhile of driving, it went away.

 

Well it's not just the noise....I jacked up the rear of the car and both rear wheels don't spin freely...I have to turn them hard to get the wheel the spin...

 

1: is it in gear? LOL jfwy
2: is it possible that they need to be turned in a bit more?

Good luck.

 

I THINK I FIXED IT ! ! ! Well I went to the auto shop on thrursday to try and look into the problem a little further and i found that i didnt turn the piston back in enough so the piston was coming in contact with the dimple on the back of the inner brake pad....i turned it enough and put everything back together and VOILA, my wheels spun freely. i was still getting a tiny bit of braking noise but its gone now. THANK YOU for everyones help/suggestions. I JUST SAVED MYSELF SOME $$$ ALL THANKS TO S2KI ! !
