Gort007, I have done the C-clamp thing and installed the new brakes- reassembled them- when I apply the brakes the caliper extends and stops the wheel. I let off the brakes and the caliper does not return to free the rotor to turn. Where else do I need to look and is it and easy fix?
Thanks, Jim
The caliper should release enough to allow the wheel to turn although it will still rub a bit, making an annoying scraping sound. If this is what's going on it's OK. If the wheel is locked solidly try bleeding off a little fluid (you did open the bleeder when you squoze the caliper didn't you?).

I have no power to anything in my 1986 pickup, replaced broken ground wire, there is a white wire from the battery cable that appears to have broken off of something. Don't know where it goes.
