Can't spin tire after tightening lug nuts after brake job

This would limit the gap for the new discs and pads.

The rust on the lip of the piston might be what is doing it.

Zapta: Clean, file, sand the rust off the lip of the pistons and try again. Be a good idea to push the pistons back out a little to avoid damaging the seal.

Since he was able to push it back, perhaps just carefully push it out all the way to inspect and clean?

If he gets a seal kit and perhaps new pistons he could rebuild the calipers to like new. He could use a salt and vinegar bath to remove all the rust and make them look good again. A lot cheaper then $153 for the same thing.

Piston seal.

More piston seals for a lot less.

You can also find pistons, seals and full kits on eBay.

Good info, I remember rebuilding drum brake cylinders. I will need to try the Salt and Vinegar bath on my rusty body joints also .

May need to rebuild that 03 Odyssey right rear caliper as it chew through another set of pads and rotor in a year and a half. Just as well as I didn't replace the parking brakes last time and skipped on the bleeding.

skipped on the bleeding.

No excuse for that.
Vacume brake bleeders are going for less then $20.00 on eBay.

Thanks, didn't know there was a kit like that? Only seen the one where you pressurize from the top. I have this, used it a couple of times for motor oil and powersteering reservoir and fluid in the hose. Will attach a hose to it. This has no gauge but will let you know if it works well.

Did you see something wrong with the $10 set here? I found it funny that the seller's name was "liying". At first I pronounced it Lying then quickly realize it was Li Ying.

I was seeing indicators it is a hijacked account or was set up to scam people. I chose to err on the side of caution.

So maybe the seller is Li_Ying ? Glad I read this as I was just going to spend the $10. Thanks.

Well I went to autozone and measured the rotors they had in stock. They measure 1.030. I’m gonna order some duralast golds and see what happens. Also here is a pic of the caliper, I can’t press the piston any further back with a clamp.

1.030 is thicker than 1.025. I'd worry about those calipers.

1.030 is thicker than 1.250. I'd worry about those calipers.

I think you may have missed the decimal place here. 1.030 is smaller than 1.250.
