Default Brakes sticking (just did bigt brake conversion)

So yesterday we got around to putting on the 91 EX 10.4 brakes. Everything went smooth, bled the brakes and boom were done. Goto push the car a few feet and it feels like its in gear or the ebrake cable is on. Start the car up and it rolls just fine. WTF is going on here?

No cause the rear suspension isnt finished yet. I moved it about 10 feet in a driveway though and it rolled fine once I gave it some gas.

I would guess it was the brake booster resetting or something?

If you run into this problem again, check the pushrod adjustment up under the dash.

the "bridge" portion of 90-91 Si and DA calipers can often interfere with some wheels, moreso the DA calipers. once you tighten the lugnuts, it locks the wheel.

you might have just forced thru it the second time starting it. or maybe its not the problem at all. but you should check. and others should be aware.

i know it can happen with stock Si allow wheels and DA brakes.
