2002 Brake Caloper Rebuild

Gentlemen, recently changed rotors and pads on 2002 GT. Replaced fluid, but now have dragging piston on one side. I guess the 'o' ring got screwed up pushing the piston in. Never changed one on a Mustang, but I usually just pump the piston out and change the ring. Anything I should do or not do here.

Thanks in advance,

Lonestar

Check the slide pins first, if they are not lubed on reinstall they could cause this as well, and they are a much easier fix.

Yea, the pins were cleaned and lubed. I didn't open the bleeders when I compressed the pistons. I guess this might have screwed up the o ring.
