Probably need to adjust the piston. When you changed them did you push the caliper piston in?

Indeed.........knowing how most ppl I see do there brakes they open bleeder screws to push in caliber to put new pads on don't see why they don't just take some fluid out of mas cyl res then push fluid from caliber into res then u don't make a big mess. Of course the brake fluid is prob so old a dirty that a flush ain't that bad of an idea.

i unbolted the caliper swapped the rotors then bolted the caliper back on then i unbolted the front part on the caliper to swap the pads i never loosened any of the bleeder screws to pust the pistons back in all i did was use a c clamp to push in the front ones and a pair of needle nose pliers seperated to twist the back pistons back in and put everything back togather i shouldnt need too bleed anything if i didnt loosen the bleeder screws ?

have you pumped the pedal
a couple times ? to get the piston to come in contact with the pads ?

Maybe the seals in mas cyl went or the pressure differential switch took a crap.......that's a fuckin trip dude a head scratcher for sure.

ya i pumped the brakes quite a few times still got nothing it must be the rear brakes since my e brake wont work either gonna tear it back apart today hopefully just one of the pads is out of place or something easy to fix

i took the rear brakes back apart and it seems that the drivers side piston is just spinning inside the caliper and not screwing in or out so i guess the next step is to change the caliper and see what happens
