Default Brake Caliper Help!

Hi guys,

Just changed my brake pads and roters, and I realized that my front left brake is rubbing pretty bad.

What should I do? Rebleed? Caliper Rebuild?

Cheers

sounds like a piston or 2 might be hanging up in the bore and not retracting all the way. Solution is to remove the caliper and clean any spent brake material and debris that has bonded to the pistons. Bleeding should not be necessary for pad and rotor change only if air has somehow entered the system.

Drive the car around the block and then use the e-brake ONLY to bring it to stop. Then check to see if the pad is rubbing.
