I just recently changed my front brake pads, and now they're locked. I used a C-Clamp to move the calipers all the way back. The wheels won't move unless I give it a lot of gas. could anyone tell me what I did wrong, or have any suggestions for fixing it?
Don't do that, you'll fuck something worse up (like the transmission or engine). Take it all apart and start over. How are the calipers? They're not leaking or seized are they?
to service the piston: -clamp the hoses -take off the caliper -remove the piston from the caliper -remove the seal from the piston -Clean the piston seal using WD40 or something like that. -Clean the pot which the piston sits into. -put the seal back on the piston and place it into the pot gently not to score the seal To service the sliders: -Pull out the sliders, pull off the rubber seal off one of the sliders ( only one should have the seal) -Using a wire wheel clean down the sliders -grease them up using a lithium based grease -Clean out the slider holders -place the seal back on the one slider and place both back into the caliper. Once you do those two things and release the clamps and bleed the brakes you shouldnt have any more sticky brakes
