I've never heard of that happening before ... so .. sorry .. but nope. :nono:

The pads cannot be rusted to the rotor or the rotor would not turn. Helllooooo?

That's what I was thinking too ... but I thought I'd just be nice..

Are you referring to the entire brake assy (pads/calipers) are rusted to the back of the wheel assembly? If so, try pb blaster on the 2 bolts, and or a breaker bar on your wrench. I just changed mine a few weeks ago, they were a pain but I got them loose.

I had a missing anti-rattle spring in one caliper ... so my pads were bouncing in there and making an extremely annoying loud, ticking noise.

All fixed now!
