The mechanic had it all the way in. Had to use some liquid wrench on it. Lots of rust. I set them on the tight side. A little too tight cuz pedal doesn't have much throw but I guess it will free up in time. Wheels turn freely thought. Thanks to all here
Wait a minute. There is an actuator lever in there the jams up something fierce, because of corrosion. Make sure this releases freely (the cable end is attached to this lever at the wheel). If it releases and actuates with the pedal alone - and no need to bang it with a mallet - then it's possible something wasn't put together correctly in the shoe section.
Hey Tugly, what rotors are you running and do you like them?
Those are great-quality EBCs, they show fantastic wear and performance in the time/miles that I've had them... BUT: The slots and dimples (not drilled all the way through, that would weaken the rotor) fill with rust and brake debris. I have to "chisel out" the crud that builds up every time I grease the slide pins. My next rotors will be OEM.

I'm a lazy kind of guy therefore I think lazy...Have you considered just leaving the crud in there?
