Hi all, I just finished a brake job 2012 base V6. With 117k mi I decided to go ahead and replace the rotors along with the pads. It took about 4 hours and was one of the easiest brake jobs I've done... or I thought.

After lowering the car, I tried to pull out of the garage and it felt like the rear brakes were locked up. It moves when I give it some gas, but it doesn't feel right. I do not have PCCB and according to alldata I should grind down the epb and re-calibrate the parking brake. But the rear rotors went on nicely and neither of the 2 videos I watched on youtube really made mention of it (one did in passing). I've now searched the web for 2 hours and can't really find any posting with this problem. Seems most DIYer's replace the rotors without grinding down the parking brake without issue.

Its late and dark now so I can't explore anymore, but I figured I'd post here before I tackle this tomorrow in case anyone had heard of this issue and can provide some insight. Do you think I just need to follow the procedures for re-calibrating the parking brake to fix this... or something else? Thanks for the thoughts.


The videos I watched were:

 

Quick update so this doesn't stay open.

Ended up being the front. Bought rotors from ecs using the vehicle selector tool to buy them. They had the base model listed with 360mm on the front (without any other options) and I took it at face value. On 958s it looks like base used 350mm from 2011-2014.
Should have paid closer attention. If you buy from ecs, don't make this mistake - from what I could tell fcp and pelican both also had the wrong size listed for the base (has both 360 and 350 listed). kudos to ecs... they were great about the return and getting new discs shipped out. Unfortunately no sebro in stock so I'm going meyle. Guess I'll find out which brand has the better rust inhibitor.
