Back Brakes sticking

[LuckyWinner]

Just did my brakes and for some reason my back brakes are sticking. I can move the back wheels a little but pads wont fully disengage. Could I still have some air in my lines??? Could it be something else?? Help.......

Wilwood dual masters? If so it could be a misadjusted balance bar not allowing the rear master cylinder to fully return.

A couple of thoughts.1-How did you retract the pistons in the calipers? The mustang caliper piston needs to be rotated to retract. 2- is the parking brake fully releasing? 3- Is the MC fully releasing. Some times the pushrod is a little too long or the brake pedal arm hits the cross tube in the frame as it comes up. 4- I 'think' you are still in the build stage right? If so, and if thoughts 1,2,and 3 check out, and if you can rotate the wheels by hand, I wouldn't worry much about it. Keep it in the back of your mind when go-karting so you can check the temps relative to the fronts.

Did you check to see that the calipers are centered on the rotor? I also could not rotate the tires after installing, and it ended up that the calipers were not centered. I ended up shimming with a washer to get it centered and no more problems.
