rear brake job? Options

[bdog_v]

Hello I just swapped my rear brake pads and rotors for new ones on my 94 gt. One side turned out like brakes normally do new, the wheel turns by hand with a little resistance. The other side is a different story. I could not turn the wheel with both hands at all and I had to pound the caliper to get it on even though I had the piston pressed in all the way. I tried the old rotor and it was the same so its not the new rotor.

-Can a poorly made set of brake pads cause this from being too thick?

-It looks like the outside pad is too thick, that's my guess.... I got the pads from rock auto so I can't just take em back.....

-ANyone experienced something similar?

thanks,
Brandon

Thanks for the replies guys. the car is not going to be driveable for some time otherwise I would have tested it out. I have never looked at the slides before. I didn't realize they moved I thought the caliper was one solid peice with only the piston moving the inside pad. I'll have to look at them again....
what purpose do the slides serve?

Thanks,

B
