I haven't been getting much help on other forums, but I know this forum is pretty active. So the deal is, my car is dragging it's brakes and I have replaced the caliper, but the problem remains. I've cleaned and greased bolts and anything I can think of that could have friction. I tested the caliper off the bracket and the piston comes out and resets itself when the brake pedal is depressed. But when I mount it back on the bracket the caliper piston doesn't seem to want to reset. I've looked for pinched hoses and can't find anything. I've bled the brakes already so that's not the issue.

Any ideas of what to do next?

I need to figure this out by this weekend otherwise there is going to be a car shortage next week. 3 people to 2 cars.

Maybe you put an extra shim by mistake or their too thick. Try OEM shims. Some aftermarket shims and I mean SOME, sometimes have larger shims that won't clear our calipers. Weird...I know.
