ANOTHER EM1 PROBLEM - rear brake
sup ht today i changed my brakes on my em1 all was good until i got to the rear passenger side. took the caliper off then applied the new pads. the caliper was pretty hard to put back on compared to the opposite side. well i put it back but the rotor wont spin. its super tight. wont even move. the opposite side spins with no problem. what kind of problem am i looking at? rotor & caliper are bent? i dont see any damage of it being crashed or anything. please let me know

Re: ANOTHER EM1 PROBLEM - rear brake
The slide pins have a rubber boot and insert into the caliper bracket. Did you ever remove them?
Did you read through the diagram above describing how to replace the pads? Did you follow those instructions exactly?
Did you buy the correct pads?

More so because people try lubing the slide pins with neversieze when they service the brakes and then it melts and solidifies like cement. I've literally had to beat some calipers off with a sledge hammer because of this. But yes, to a lesser degree they will size up when they get old and haven't been serviced in years (especially if the boots are torn.
