man these calipers are on tight did you zip tie the emergency cables to the lca?
I have to go to lowes and get a 3/6 breaker bar I have a 1/2 but that is too long
I can still hear both sides rubbing a little

Keep us posted, as this might help someone down the road. I really hope re-installing fixes it...

this is the kit I used for the caliper works pretty good. The passenger side was definitely sticking could not move the rotor at all the drivers side was fine. After backing it off I took a test drive and all is fine. However driviing in S mode and starting in 1 the 3.55 break loose with out trying.

Definitely was not your fault was a good learning experience. I needed the brake kit eventually and ended up getting a bigger torque wrench from Lowes that was $96 and is now $60. Still have no idea why one side tightened up though. Works fine now and no squeak either.
