Lubricate Loaded Calipers? Brakes dragging intermittently

Look into the rod that goes into the Master or booster sounds like it is just out of adjustment, had the same problem. Back it of a turn or two and drive it.

I don't think they would release at all if that was the problem.
He said if he stomps the pedal it will let go.



You really should secure that outer pad in place even if it's not part of the problem.
The last thing I do before putting the wheels on ( helper holding the brake pedal down ) is force a wedge between the rotors hub and the bottom of the outer pad to hold that pad up while I knock/bend the 2 upper tabs down against the caliper. Messy blue glue optional.

I thought I was probably the only one that ever did that. :D
I tap my big blade screwdriver in there between the rotor hub and the bottom of the pad backing metal, then tap the top tabs down tight to the caliper.
