brake pads dragging Sign In

Hi, I have a 2002 lexus is300, with 82,000 miles on it. I just replaced the rear brakes, including rotors, calipers and pads. I bled the brakes good, and I have one of the pads dragging pretty bad. Any ideas what could be causing this? The calipers are also 2 pistons, and the pads are seated correctly in the calipers, i've checked that several times already. Thanks

There are basically 3 things that will cause that in only one wheel

  1. Caliper piston is binding in caliper
  2. One or more of the caliper slides is frozen
  3. rubber brake hose is ruptured internally and restriction return flow of the brake fluid

Take the wheel back off, remove the caliper, make sure the rotor is seated properly and grease the slider pins
