2011 challenger 5.7 manual. Original owner, 105k. Front pads were worn with passenger side to the metal on the outside pad, one caliper piston was seized so I put new rotors/pads/new pass caliper on.
The front brakes will not release, I jacked the car up after the initial work again, took the pads off, made sure everything was mechanically ok..... the pads are sliding correctly, the pistons compress enough to install the calipers without issue, no leaks, master didn’t go dry bleeding, bleed on pass caliper was no problem, new stainless slide hardware, calipers hung by wire and not left to dangle, pins are greased and slide perfectly, no mechanical binding.
When the car is off the ground and right after I put it all back together, the wheels spin perfectly, then after brakes are applied, everything works fine..... however the brakes will not release after the pedal is released.
I think this was the original problem now.
Any ideas? I’ve thought that maybe the rubber lines could be bad and creating a small flap on the inside not allowing the fluid to decompress, but both sides not working seems far fetched.
The car has been on track 4 times with multiple sessions and this is the 7th set of free autozone pads, and I’ve not had any problems with the system or doing the brakes myself before. Car hasn’t been on track in about 50k miles.
Any input, or common issues with this platform you’ve heard of please post (maybe a ABS or master issue) Thanks
