rear brakes working fine.rotated tires and noticed pads were getting a little worn.got new pads and replaced them.lubed the pins.put the calipers on.did not disconnect any brake line.rotors smothe as new.no leaks in brake lines.put the tires on and started it up and pumped the brakes while it was still jacked up.brakes pumped up in 2 pumps.put it in gear and the tires barley move.take the tires off and i had to pry the caliper off the rotor.i have taken this apart 10 times and still the same thing.remember all was fine before i changed the pads.could it be the inner part of the rubber flex brake line seperated?any ideas?thanks

Sounds like a sticking caliper to me. I gues it's possible that a hose is deteriorated internally. Hard to tell from here though.

I have the exact same problem on a 98' Bravada after I changed the rear pads. The calipers are grabbing on both sides, so I don't think that's the problem. I was told it might be the center hose, so I replaced it today with no luck. I guess my next step will be to replace both outer hoses.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated!

 

Thanks.
