This is my problem:
I installed the brake pads into the caliper and added the new Goodridge brake lines on. When I "thought" I correctly bled the brakes right, but I mite be wrong.

I can't tell if it brakes fine because My rear brake pads are hitting the rotors. Meaning I cant really move my car unless if it I accelerate pretty hard. I know You have to adjust the Ebrake cables which I did, but its still not moving.

Can someone tell me the correct way to bleed out the brakes for the ITR. I heard there is a different way to bleed when you have ABS??

Does anyone know why my rear brake pad is on?? (BRAKE light is off)

Someone help me ASAP
Thanks

 

Did you turn the rear piston *all the way* in when you installed the pads?

 

yes they are all the way in...

doesn't sound like it.. i would check it again.. that's the only wheel that's sticking?

 

did you line up the grooves in the piston with the small pegs on the rear pads?

look like small raised nipples....

 

I guess maybe the only way I can check is to ... open up the stupid calipers again.. garrrr... but could that be the only way of sticking onto the rotor?

Whatever you do, it will involve taking the caliper off again...it's only 2 bolts...not the end of the world

 

Whoever did the brakes before me OMG like had that thing in... I had to go borrow my friends air compressor and impact that bolt GRR...

 

Leverage is your friend.

...and since you just took them off to put the pads in it will not be a problem this time, right?

You can either:

-take our advice, and take off the pistons
-do nothing
-complain

but only one of those has the potential of finding/fixing the problem...
