Brake problems..
hey guys. i can't seem to figure out why my brakes wont release completely. i replaced all of the pads rotors and calipers, bled the brakes,ran new brake lines and they still will stay stuck onto my rotors... it only happens when i pull the e-brake and leave it up for a few hours (parking at work or home overnight) it causes lots of problems money wise also it gives me head aches what should i be looking for that could be keeping the brakes locked up? im thinking could it be the brake booster? im not sure tho im just trying to get this fixed so i dont have to keep replacing pads...any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Jonny

Re: Brake problems..
I usually bleed the brakes when I have problems with sticky eBrake cables, it usually fixes it.
We haven't been told if this problem is with the front brakes, rear brakes, or both. It's more fun to diagnose things without the right information though.

Re: Brake problems..
I apologize for the lack of info. its the rear brakes i bled the brakes again and the right rear (passenger) isn't stuck just needed to be bled again... but the left rear is still stuck i tried loosening the e-brake and using Brake parts cleaner but i couldnt get it to budge...
