79 CC5 disc brakes sticking

[Jinx]

I changed the front disc brakes on my wife's CJ and now they stick after the first time you push them. I have changed many disc brakes in the past and have never had this issue before. Any thoughts??? Her AMC 304 will make the CJ move but as soon as you push in the clutch you can watch the front end drop down from the brakes grabbing. lol

It's either the caliper sticking on the mounting bolts or the piston sticking.

Did you check the piston bores when you changed the pads? sometimes the piston gets some rust on it and when you push it back in, it sticks.

You changed the front disc brakes. Pads, rotors or both?
I think its the piston sticking. How long since the brakes have been done? Maybe for years the pistons have been extended and exposed for rust. Now you have new brakes and the pistons are pressed back into the cylinder. I think they are stuck there. Probably not both sides. Jack up the front end to see what side is locked up.
