[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 435380, member: 19498"] There are no springs that pull the pads away from the rotors. But....if the calipers that hold the pads sit on slide rails of sorts rust,crust,dirt and the like from lack of use can easliy cause them hang up and the pads will drag and possibly hang up. When this happens heat is created which in turn can cause the brake fluid to boil and expand and push the pads against the disc even further and possibly lock the wheel up. [/QUOTE]
