Rear brake question...

[ND 4 SPD SHO]

Hey gang...I got a stumper... I replaced my brake pads all around, also did both rotors in the back and the LR caliper 'cuz it was seized. After I put it all back together I'm noticing that the same caliper is still dragging, it's constantly on. I don't have e-brake, so I'm thinking proportioning valve.

Second, third opinions? How do I fix it?


TIA

It took a combination of "fixes" to get my car right again. Prop valve and rear brake lines (the ones that lead to the caliper). The tubes may look ok on the outside, but they can collapse on the inside. If that was the case, then the fluid can't "back up" when the caliper releases the rotor, thus causing the inability of the caliper to release completely.

Thanks Biz....no time to fix before my trip this weekend, hopefully it'll hold up doh

Be careful Zoltan. I hope it holds up also. Just keep an eye on the dragging. Mine ended up catching fire way back when...remember? eek!
