Default Re: Strange front brakes dragging

Just out of curiousity, how bad are they dragging? With the tires off the ground, you should be able to spin the tires by hand. They should continue to rotate if shimmed correctly, and the rotors are not warped. Like others have suggested if you remove the hydraulic pressure and they still do not free up, then I would pull the caliper, and spin the wheel? This will eliminate the brakes as the issue all together. Are the wheel bearings so loose that the rotor is rubbing the brake pads as it turns?

My Strange brakes have been trouble free, it is a good idea to check the fastener hardware, and caliper alignment before the start of each season though.
