          take out pins and clean with a drill and steel wool
          I put a thin coat of hightemp silicone grease on the back of the pads

            Welcome to KR.. Sounds like a pad issue or a stuck piston. Do you have a manual? if not you can download one. Start reading the trouble shooting section.. good luck!

              thanks everyone. My brothers friend who is a mechanic said that its probably due to the fact that it has been sitting for a couple months.
