QLD Posted 02/03/08 03:07 AM Share Posted 02/03/08 03:07 AM Hey everyoneI just changed my brake pads, and now it seems like the calipers aren't coming out fully, so now the brakes are making a noise when I haven't got my foot on the pedal...Anyone know what this might be because it sounds terrible, similar to if my bearings have gone.

Maybe I pushed them too far? I hope I didn't break the caliper :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43170-brakes-always-on/#findComment-640719 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know its not the pads... because one side is fine, the other side feels like the Caliper isn't retracting fully after being applied Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43170-brakes-always-on/#findComment-640746 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stupidly put the dirt guard on backwards. Ripped it off, and it was all good. Calipers and pads are working perfectly. Thanks for the help anyway guys.
