Just did front and rear pads and when i did the driver side it fought me all the way. When i put the new pads on the caliper wouldnt fully go over the pads and then finally did. Then when i got to tighten the bolts up and try to turn the rotor it will not move at all, and it seems like one side of the pad is pressed in more than the other.

Check the slider pins. It is probably frozen. Very typical. I messed with mine quite a while before I snapped what the problem was.

Can you compress the piston in the caliper? Sounds like it's seized.

Chaos07

Ya I compressed the piston all the way. And I'll check the pins tomorrow I had a puddle of sweat doing all four corners today lol I'll pick up some brake lube too

Chaos07

Ok well I managed to get the pin to turn its just not coming off the bracket. And also I would like to get the bracket off but one of the bolts is TIGHT not even a hammer on the ratchet will get this thing loose.

I had the same problem with mine when i did the fronts .. I couldn't get the spins to even turn .,.

I had to replace the caliper bracket because i broke one of the bolts off in the pin .. so if you cant get the slider pins out that's going to be what I would do ,,

Chaos07

yeah thats what i will probably do, if i can get the bolts out for it. its pretty hard to find them here at the parts stores.

I bought mine from Oreilly's they ordered it in took a day to get ,,

what bolt is stuck ?

Chaos07

The bolt that holds the bracket in place, the top one. The pin is stuck in the bottom part of the bracket it will turn but im having a hard time to get it to move out

Soak it with some pb-blaster and maybe try a breaker bar with a piece of pipe. Leverage that bitch!

Chaos07

GUESSS WHAT!!! lol i had let it soak with pb blaster/ wd-40 and this morning i could wiggle it out. I put new pins in and called it a day!! **** these old cars are a pain to work on sometimes

Spray the pins, that will losen them up maybe and release it.
