Re: Brake pads dragging

Whenever this has happened to me, it's always been a defective caliper.

Typically, these calipers are rebuilt, which is usually fine. But if they were not done right or were too rusty inside, they will not retract fully after a brake application and drag.

Take the dragging caliper off and take it back to the parts store and demand another one at no charge.

Chances are, since this problem only started when the caliper was replaced, the fault lies there, and your brake line is actually okay.
