Re: 98 Prelude Base Rear Caliper

One more thing that came to my mind.
When I have the parking brake on, I can not turn the rotor by my hand.
But when I have the parking brake off, I can turn the rotor. It's just
that the pads don't retract fully and rubs against the rotor. So could
it be that my piston is not the problem but whatever mechanism that is
supposed to retract the pads are not working well?
