Default Still having Brake Probs:: !!! someone help me out PLEASE

Well, like you guys suggested.... I tried to redo my rear calipers.

Well When I put the pistons all the way back down again and screwed everything back down. I think I figured it out...
Well Basically the outside pad (the one visible) is grabbing onto my rotors so, when I screw in the 14mm bolt on teh back... it attaches itself to the rotor.

Now the rear brake pads (the one you cant see behind the rotor) isnt touching the rotor.... so I think thats what is causing my rear brakes to lock up.

Is there a way I can adjust this?

SOmeone please help me...!!

Uh, you need to pump the brakes several times after they're installed, to allow the pads to seat properly against the rotor in the caliper.

So after i reinstall everything... and when I start bleeding the brakes again.... The outside brake pad will not be positioned on the rotor ne more... so my rotor will start turning again??

what in the hell does brake bleeding have to do with installing pads?

the pads should not move in the carrier, if they do they are not installed properly!

Thats what I'm asking... so the Rear Caliper.... the OUTSIDE brake pads... are sticking onto the rotor... when I bolt the rear 14mm bolts back on.... BUT the brake pads on the pistons arent the ones hitting rotor (or sticking on) its the outsides ones... So What do I must do to correct that problem?

You really need to word your posts and questions better. I have no idea what the hell you are talking about, but i will take a stab at it anyways.

Are all the pads the same or did some of them have slots in the back of them, on the backing plate?

Did you remove and clean the metal shims that the brake pads sit on, in the caliper bracket/carrier?

Are you sure the caliper is in place properly (not crooked)?

Are you sure the bolts on the caliper are torqued evenly?

Did you start the car, then pump the brake pedal to seat the pads in the caliper, then try to spin the wheel?
