Brake problem?
Need help guys
Today I was painting calipers. I noticed that when i was tightening the front driver side wheel it was spinning, while someone was pressing brakes.
The passenger side, on the other hand, was very tight when brakes were pressed.
I hope its just the pads, but probobly not. What else should i look for?
Thx.

Are the pads squealing when you drive? If not, your pads are fine. I would check to see if your driver side piston is engaging. If it doesn't engage, try bleeding the brakes.

Check the right rear (same channel) compare to right rear. Try bleeding the lines, also check for a pinched line if you had the caliper off and didn't hang it, or were wiggling it around a lot while painting it. look for leaking fluid, or pump brakes a few times, see if the piston needed to be pushed back out a little.
The possibilities are endless.
