I was installing new rotors and pads yesterday (Easter) and both of my rear calipers locked up. Do they need to be twisted or anything to compress?

Mike, That site has front brakes, which uses a c-clamp. After further research I've discovered that rear calipers are compressed by turning them clockwise. However, I already ordered new calipers and the old ones were kinda ratty/leaking a little so I'm good to go now =)

That's a good site, btw.

 

I had that problem with one of mine when I did my breaks. It turns out that I was using the MetalMaster breaks and they kept making my pads stick to my rotor. Went out and bought some Nissan pads and everything worked fine. Only thing I could figure is that the metalmasters are thicker then stock. Hard to tell........
