Changed both rear brake pads on my s13, screwed the piston in enough so the caliper could slide over the new pads, but there's not much play

brakes stick a little bit, i can be on a 5 ish degree incline and if the car is stopped it wont move

also, e brake went up A LOT higher at first. I pumped the brakes a few times, and now it still goes slightly higher than before


what's the problem?

on the rear right i clamped the shit out of the piston, before my dumb ass realized you have to screw it in.

also, there's two 14mm bolts that connect to the caliper... the bottom one, that rod it connects to, both sides are seized. are they supposed to move?

please answer, its my daily -_-

Do you have z32 or OEM sliding calipers?

After every brake pad change you need to re-lube the slide pins. Failure to do so will result in the caliper not being able to move as it should.
