Brakes not releasing??

[lilskyline240]

alright, so ive noticed that sometimes my front right brake doesnt release all the way after it is depressed....or at least it takes awhile for it to release...what can be causing it to not release and how do i fix it?? i have new rotos and pads on the front by the way

your caliper is seizing. Did you grease the pins when you replaced the pads and the rotors?? worst comes to worst, you will have find another caliper.

it appeared that one of my pins was seazed so i took it out and cleaned it really good but i didnt know what to put back in there so i just used wheel bearing grease....is this pin help push teh caliper back out?

well, those sliding pins only move w/ the piston... if you're sure you cleaned & relubed them well... suspect the caliper piston itself or brake hose ...

mebbe bleeding the system may alleviate the prob & cheaper option to do 1st?

so the caliper goes in and then comes back out?? i always thought those pins released the brake....yeah, ill try bleeding the brakes this weekend and lubing up the caliper a bit with some WD40 to see if can get it to work better...
