ok… got my car running after having it sit in my driveway for 8 months… turned out to be a floggin fuse for my fuel pump :stupid: did the front rotors and pads fine and they work great. did the rear pads today and it was a B!TCH to turn the caliper in and when i finally got both sides on it now feels like the brake is on all the time… the car was sitting with the e-brake on for the past 8 months… any ideas? its too dark out for me to mess around today but any suggestions that come up i’ll be sure to try tomorrow. thx ppl ---

It’s probably your Sliders; remove them, clean and regrease. ---

pull on the e-brake, if it doesn’t give you any resistance for the first little bit then you’re looking at seized e-brake lines. quick fix - take the lines off the calipers, you won’t have an e-brake but atleast you can get around.
