Re: Need brake help badly!
to isolate it, jack it up and take the wheel off, loosen the brake line at the caliper...does the rotor now spin free? if it does, replace the hose, if it does not, remove the caliper, does the rotor spin free? if it does, replace the caliper, if it does not there are issues with rotor mounting,i.e. bearings wrong, rubbing etc....if the caliper were cocked due to mounting boss' machined wrong, new pads after burn in would show a wear pattern that left areas not scuffed up...

Re: Need brake help badly!
ive had it up in the air several times, with the brake hose connected and try spinning the rotor it will not spin, with the caliper off it spins freely, so i replaced the caliper and still the same thing but not as bad i will try it with the hose off or just buy a new hose and see if it works out. The pads do not look like they have uneven wear or anything odd about the wear pattern.

Re: Need brake help badly!
You can try spinning the wheel or rotor and if it is hard to turn , just crack open the bleeder screw. If it frees up , the hose is collapsed . No need to remove the hose just to free up the pressure .

Re: Need brake help badly!
I am using the prestone synthetic fluid. The synthetic doesnt eat the paint.
