[s-cars] Front Brake calipers not releasing.....Master Cylinder?

[Mark Strangways]

Are we talking about any real drag here ?
The pads will always touch the rotors and that is normal.
There is gonna be some drag on the rotors, but should be easily  
turnable.

Apply the brakes hard a few times and let go. If, when you open the  
bleeder, brake fluids jets out then you have a problem. If it just  
comes out slowly or not at all I would think you have no problems.
