I need a little help from the group. First off, I searched the forum and could not find anything on the subject. I just changed pads using the tool to push the pistons in and also replaced the rotors. I put everything back together and tried to go for a test drive but the front brakes do not seem to want to retract. I pulled the calipers back off and they do not seem to be stuck as they will push out when pressing the pedal. Any ideas before I do a rebuild kit on them?

If it’s both sides it is likely not the calipers, it would be highly unusual for both sides to hang up after a pad replacement. I would look to make sure they are the right pads first then look farther up steam.

Moved to the correct section. That help section is for site issues, not cars. You'll get more replies here.
