My front and rear brakes are dragging.

Is there anything I can do to fix this. They were dragging before I did my LS1 brake swap. They are still dragging after. The rears are dragging too. I'm going to do a flush on the fluid this weekend. I replaced all rotors and pads. Any ideas on how to stop them from dragging?

Check the slides and the pad mounting points that they move freely. Also, try opening the bleeders to rule out the brake hoses. If they still drag with everything moving freely and the bleeder cracked it sounds like you need some calipers. The seal around the piston in the caliper acts as a spring and actually retracts the piston slightly after pressure is applied. If it's damaged it could stop retracting and cause them to drag a bit.

After I hosed the calipers in the front and rear with pb blaster they started working ok. Now a few days later they are back to grabbing. Grrr!
