my rear brakes are seizing again. i took the caliper apart last weekend and greased the slider pins and put everything back together. worked for a few hours now they are seizing again. i took the wheels off and checked the ebrake and when i release the handle the assembly on the caliper wasnt going all the way back. so i pulled it back by hand and went for a drive but the brakes are still seized. im thinking im just going to buy new calipers. napa wants $156 each. could anything else be causing this or should i just buy new calipers? _note_ the calipers were just rebuilt in september because they were seized ---

You might have a sticky parking brake cable, check to see if they slide freely once disconnected from the calipars. Or they might have forgot to put the springs on the re-built calipars like they did on mine. ---

Yes, it’s either e-brake line, a slider that is slightly bent/rusty, or your caliper itself. Since you already took them apart, I would say it’s most likely the caliper itself. Get it rebuilt and it wont cost you too much. ---

you could also try midwest calipers in scarborough. he has the lowest price on calipers that i have seen (rebuilt). 411 it.
