My brakes are grinding when I hit them and continue to grind at slow speeds after releasing them.I checked the pads and they seem fine(I changed them last year).Should I change my calipers?I think they are frozen but not sure.

How do tell if it is the brake line.Should I bleed it and see if I get fluid out?

I checked the brake pads and they do not look that bad.The reason I think it is the calipers is because it still grinds when you take your foot off of the brake.

i think you should change your brake pads again it could be if your brake pads are back that the brake pads arent returning to normal position which could be bad brake cylinder seal or a caliper stuck

did you check the calipers when you changed break pads?when buy brake pads get the best ones on the market.they last longer............sounds like you is metal to metal.

if you changed them last year then its metal to metal you should check them every 6 months then from there inspect the rotor or the drum wich ever is grinding then look at the caliapor and see if it releases break fluid through the line then put back to gether and test it on the road

At least rebuild em (calipers), they are sticking, hopefully you checked the pads recently and not counting on what they looked like when you put them in. check ALL four wheels.
