After I changed my 93 240sx (w/o abs, auto) 's brake pads, the front brakes are dragging when moving forward and backward. All calipers' pistons were compressed with the brake fluid cap off...then the cap was replaced back on followed by pumping the brake pedal while car is running. Any advice on which could be the cause of the calipers dragging.

did you lube the slides? the piston could be stuck out because the seal in the caliper is not letting the piston retract all the way

what he said +1...

There might be some gunk in the holes that the slider pins go in. Scrape em out with a screwdriver. Or maybe your calipers are locked up?
