HELP!! Front Brakes Stuck
Firstly, this is in my wifes 2003 Mustang, but i hope someone here will know about brakes.
I needed new pads and rotors due to defective calipers.
I replaced front pads, front rotors, and got rebuilt Calipers (same brand as OEM)
i bled the brakes
now the brakes won't release.
thinking back, is there something i needed to do to the new calipers or something?
is there a check valve somewhere in the system?
i tried using a "reverse flow" bleeder setup to bleed the brakes but i couldn't push the fluid back up, so i ended up doing it the old way (pump pump pump)
Hands Dirty, Need Help!!!

nope. i re-posted this in the superduty forum if you want to check what i said there...
basically, i un-did all the fittings (except brake line to brake hose attachment) and it was still stuck. therefore i can conclude that it is not pressure related... i hope.
