Brake pads constantly rubbing on rotors?

Recommended Posts

Recently changed my brake rotors as my old ones had a decent lip around them, After changing them out I noticed how much force it took me to spin the wheel while the car was up on jack stands (after pumping the breaks). The pads are constantly rubbing on the rotors and it feels as if the caliper pin doesn't fully retract back after letting off the break pedal.

Would the caliper benefit from a rebuild kit or will it most likely stay the same? i'm assuming it's dirt/dust/rust from years of use.

Did you take the caliper apart and clean the slides and grease them when you did the pads? It is probably worth doing before you look at rebuild kits etc.
