ok replace the calipers. on the drivers side had a problem with the park brake the threaded part on the piston stripped. anyway put new pads on with the new calipers then the drivers side was dragging replaced the rubber brake line on that side still dragging looked like the spring was dragging on the housing of the caliper so I removed it and just touched with a grinder to rmove just enough material so it would not touch the caliper housing put it back on that was a fight but any way to make this short the spring loaded cable seems to be the problem if i take it off i can rotate the park brake part and it returns completely but with the cable hooked up itwont return all the way i took off the return spreing on the caliper and streached it to make it stronger but this didnt help anyone seen this before or got any tips im :BangHead: thanks if you got any ideas :wave:
