Ok guys i am having an issue that i need some help with...to set up the problem:
Today i swapped out the front hubs to 5 lug from an se abs model. Mine was the base model without ABS. I only swapped the hub, it did have the abs gear on it which i left, but since mine has no sensor did not think that would cause an issue. When i put on the hubs they spun freely and i made sure to torq down bearing nut to correct specs per fsm.
I then swapped out the front struts/springs with kyb agx struts and eiback prokit springs. again torquing to spec.
I then moved onto the brakes which are 26mm aluminum calipers with pdm conversion lines. I bolted the lines to the calipers, then unhooked the old caliper line from the hard line at the inner fender, connected the new conversion line, put in the tabs to hold everything in tight and bled the brakes as i normally would.
At this point i noticed the hubs would not spin freely but didnt think anything about it, thinking that maybe my girl put it in gear when she was helping me to bleed the brakes.
I put the tires on, dropped the car and hopped in. Went to back up and nothing...its like the brakes are locked. The BRAKE light on the dash is also remaining on. I set the parking break and lowered again thinking maybe it got stuck somehow and tried again and still nothing.
Any ideas? Sorry to go into everything that i did but i wanted to make sure i painted an accurate picture. Could the 300zx brakes be locked up somehow, why would the BRAKE light remain on.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am still using stock MC and everything of that nature. The only things changed are what i mentioned above.
Thanks in advance for any help.
