this passed weekend i did my rear brakes, which is nothing new to me ive done pads millions of times but this time it was different. they came off perfect and went on perfect but the fluid reads MAX now and doesnt feel like alot of pressure in the pedal. i can still stop but now how it should or i want it to .. how do i get fix this problem

 

try bleeding them and see if that helps....

 

iight ill try it ....it happened when i did the rear brakes so should i stated with the back first ?

 

did u open up the lines?
i have seen those calipers seize up and if pedal is being applied it won't hold the wheel turning by hand

My 96 has the front passenger side caliper sticking or sumthing, the back pad is constantly scrubing (new brakes) and the front pad hasn't even made contact with the rotor. I switched the caliper, but same problem. someone said that the master cylinder may only be sending fluid but not allowing it to release somehow. and ive put brakes on the car myself twice before with no problems at all. any advice would be appreciated. thanks

If you drive a 5.5 gen, make sure the end of the upper front hardware clip sticks through the wear indicator of the pad.

 

get rid of the balla wheels.................

 

 

Man its Feb and i live in Connecticut if i still had thos rims on they would be Garbage lol ...and besides im goin for a new look this spring nothing like it looks in the pic

 

Hmm. that's sounds like the problem I'm having. When I think of stuck caliper, I think of stuck ON. My drivers rear doesn't seem to even apply, as the rotor is rusty as hell.

Time for new caliper.

Thanks for your insight.

 

Nah wat he means by stuck is when u go to put the cailper back on it wont push back in
