what's up guys found out my brake was not releasing on the passenger rear side so I went ahead bought some new rotors and brakes for both being they were close to the metal. Everything has been change and I can still hear the brake noise from passenger rear any ideal what it could be, Im thinking the E-brake is not releasing any ideals...
 
Drive for a while, not using your brakes and then coast to a stop. Jump out and check the temps of the rotors. A stuck caliper produces a hot rotor and a warm caliper. A stuck ebrake only produces a warm rotor, with the part nearest the lugs being warmest.
 
yeah i notice it was hard to get the rotor off on the passenger side and it came off easy on the driver's side so i guessing that its stuck on the cable.

Well the rotors and brakes was real hot and you can smell the brakes burning before I changed the caliper. After I change the caliper it was warm but you can still hear the rubbing noise afterwards... I tried turning it with the car in the air and it was not moving freely at all...
 
the caliper was not hard to take off just the rotor but I replace the caliper anyways cause the piston was hard to retract.. Im pretty sure is the ebrake cable...
