Rear brakes poping after new pads October 09, 2009, 07:32:06 PM HiI have my TC up on jack stands right now, a friend who is a shade tree mechanic changed the pads on the rear and when we blead the brakes the two rear did not want to bleed, the pedal did not hardly move, we did the front and pedal went to the floor as both expected, but when started and put in gear with my foot on the brakes (still up on the stands) when I let off the pedal it makes a bad popping sound from the brakes....did we do something wrong? He said pads only go on one way and doesn't see how he could have messed it up. Quote Selected

Rear brakes poping after new pads Reply #3 – October 11, 2009, 05:56:06 PM I did the bleed correctly...actually what I am hearing is the rear brakes sticking, I think it is the Ebrakes sticking, after a short drive I had smoke comming from the rear brakes, and up on jack stands I can now tell the brakes are engaged and when the ebrake pedal is depressed the wheels actually turn easier,...I did a search but came up dry, but found a couple of others elsewhere that it sounds like the same problem, but no cure...does anyone have any ideas why this is happening, I don't think they could be on backwards but that's kinda how it seems.
