so i got some new brake pads for the rears, i un-tightned the ebrake so theres no tension and wen i took the caliper off i skrewed the caliper pistion back in with that square tool thing, put new pads in put it all back together and the rear brakes are still engaged a little, i know theyre brand new pads and need break in but ive never seen it like this. anybody have some ideas of something ive maybe forgoten to do/did wrong?

you are so fucking dumb
you really cant put on brake pads, and make a thread about it?
idont understand how hard is it
 
wats engage a little? do you smell you brakes cooking? Sure you turned the piston all the way in? was the piston very difficult to turn back in? are the sliding pins frozen? did you line up the pins on the pads with the notches in the piston?
 
Lube da slides up, den go take dat shit for a drive, 60mph.brake slams and ebrake pulls. Ull be fine

did u see the piston go in?? lots of times pistons get siezed, and just spin and not move. loosen the ebrake completly from the handle. u should try using your brain next time, it helps
