help! my calipers are sticky!!

[jgilbs]

hey all. i just got new rotors on my 92 4wd. put them on, then reassembled everything. now, my calipers are sticking. this is why i needed new rotors in the first place! (got new calipers after that, but then i got some pedal pulsating, put up with it for a month, and just got new rotos today) is it because i reused the old slide pins? i cleaned them off and greases their track pretty well when i reinstalled the caliper, but the pad was stuck hard against the rotor. i drove like a block at varying speeds and varying stopping speeds, and i brought it back and looked at my new rotors, which now have tiny grooves in them. looks like theyll be fine(they got kinda hot, but hopefully not hot enough to warp)


so, will new pins and lube solve my sticking, or is there something else i should try?

I'd start with replacing the sliders. Make sure you use grease designed for caliper lube and not regular axle grease.
