Default

did you install the pads correctly...there is an inside and outside pad?
raise the front end and remove wheels...step on the brake and release it.... is the wheel dragging? if yes, quickly crack one bleeder screw does it spin freely...if yes either the master cylinder or flex line is holding line pressure.
