Currently, my e-brake is not correctly adjusted, but I do not think that is the problem as this is the only tire dragging. I put a new master cylinder on it last year, new rear brakes in November, and new calipers up front last week. I am not exactly sure what is causing this problem, I do know that my rotors at the least need to be turned if not replaced, and this could be the problem as well. However, on these trucks they made the rotor part of the wheel assembly, therefore the wheel bearings have to be removed to get it off. Would the bearings cause my problems, or do you think it is the rotor. The guy at autozone said they sell a tool that will press the new bearings in, I have yet to look at it though. How hard is this to do, and do you think it would be the culprit of my brake drag? Thanks for all the help.
sometimes what also can happen is that the rubber brake line will deteriorate in side and act as a oneway check valve and not allow brake to release . crack open the bleeder abit to release any pressure and see if wheel spins freely
