3800 Installed rotors/pads, now I have e-brake probs

[stixx]

Hi guys - I dont think I ever formally introduced myself, so hello to everyone. I just signed up on your site about two weeks ago.

Anyway, yesterday I installed my first set of rotors and pads - wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I do have one problem though - my ebrake seems to stick a bit. Here's the scenario - if I engage the ebrake, the car seems to hold fine (so far so good). However, when I disengage the ebrake and start to drive, my brakes make a strange rubbing/grabbing sound that lasts for maybe 2-3 seconds - the noise/vibration then seems to go away. Any ideas of what I may have screwed up or failed to adjust?

As a side note - I spent about 15 minuted trying to remove the rear rotors with the ebrake engaged - argh!!!!! Definitely learned a lesson there.

I had a problem with my rear rotors too where I was hearing like a screaching sound, and to my knowledge I thought the rotor was warped. My good buddy Rob took a look at them and found out that the back plate behind the rear rotor was bent so it was scratching the rotor and was making that sound.

you might want to check and see if that is rubbing on your rotor.

Good luck
