I have had all pads replaced,slides and rotors servised,but a little after two days out of the workshop u can hear a brake rubbing noise,took the back he found the two rear brakes locked on to rotors,released brakes then it was fine but not for long,the guy is a good mechanic but he can't why it keeps doing it,tried to get a workshop manual on the van but was told I was not dealer, so can't sell me one any advice
If the brakes keep building up pressure ,it is an indication of insufficient brake pedal free play that is blocking of the compensating ports or a faulty master cylinder.. It is possible that the reservoir is over full as well and the hot brake fluid is not being allowed to expand. Basically I would go for the pedal adjustment or a new master cylinder as most mechanics neglect the fact that with the work you have had done the master cylinder would have suffered the same wear and should have been replaced as a matter of due course.

I replaced the rotors and pads on my right hand drive Blazer and had the same problem ,dont worry in a couple of days normal running the pressure goes away and you dont get the heat problem.
Its just the new pads bedding in.

Hi joelalthomas, if they replaced your brakes and you never even made it home they had better warranty the work and as for the "it was a common problem on 2002-2004 trucks" well check for Chevy recalls as this is a safety issue that would have been corrected at no expense to the vehicle owner, do a little more research my friend and let me know what happens, I will check around a little as well in the meantime I would find a new garage.Do not pay any more as you said your brakes worked fine until they worked on it good luck to you As for your 4x4 did you look at the left side when you did the right side? and were they bled off properly? you can visually check to see if the calipers are functioning

todays sports utility vehicles are equiped with a proportioning valve. they are usualy located at the rear of the vehicle. this valve regulates the flow of brake fluid to the calipers. most suv`s have a ride control arm on them that is linked to the rear suspension to apply more braking force to the rear wheels in a harsh or sudden stop. if this valve is bad or malfunctioning even body roll can redirect brake fluid to the rear wheels causing them to lock up., hope this info helps

Some brake pads have a small pin sticking up for the e brake that pad must be on the outside when not installed for the e brake or the caliper will not push it out straight. Remove the pads and check for wear on the caliper face and make sure you have them installed correctly I put a pad in backwards once it worked but made a noise

i take youve changed the hand brake shoes in the disc as you say the cable, have you adjusted the shoes through the wheel stud hole.
