i just replaced my rotors and pads all around and the rear brake pistons were nearly IMPOSSIBLE to push in to get the new pads on...Also, when I was leaving I can hear that it sounds like the pads are stuck on the rear rotors and its making a scraping noise whenever i drive. Anyways, please let me know if you can help me find what the problem is. Its my daily driver so I need help asap. thanks in advance for any help.

 

With the pistons in the rear calipers. How did you get them pressed in ?

 

i turned them using a special square tool....

 

ok well i now am convinced that my calipers are seized...i jacked up the back of the car and both of the wheels have a lot of resistance like the brake is on...

 

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 ! !

 

Thats why I love this forum. Tons of info and helpful members.

 

yeah i have the same problem, with the screeting noise, but the front. i went to a shop and i need new rotors and pads but the charge tooo much. does anyone here want to meet up and help me with this? thanx

 

is it the front or rears, brakes are fairly straight foward if nothing aside from the pads need replaced

 

if it is the rears you Can Not just force the piston back into the caliper, it needs to be done right otherwise youll be replacing the calipers too

 

john: i fixed the problem already and the car stops better than ever..thanks
