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

What the....?!?! I have to pay $120 for the caliper and bracket with trading the core in. Where in Wisconsin are you and where did you find those at? I need a new bracket as well cuz i stripped the threads out of mine. Lol. They don't even offer the support bracket by itself in appleton. It's either a dealer item or Wally's U Pull It. Billy Gibson's only had 1 6th gen but had like 5 5th gens.
If you live near appleton, let me know. I may be able to help. You can slide the Support bracket off the Caliper so if there are any threads sticking out you can turn it out with a vice grips.(thats basically what i did.)
