The brakes locked up while changing the brake pads on a 2000 Tiburon?

How do I unlock them?|||You provide little detail, but try this:


Bleed the blocked calipers one by one, they should unlock.


Check that the pistons move freely in and out; if not, check the rubber seals for damage and replace accordingly.


If they just stuck, a drop or two of brake fluid (do not use other lubricants) on piston sliding surfaces might help restore normal operation.


After fixing and before fitting the wheels, depress vigorously the brake pedal several times and check that the rotors are braked and rotate freely after releasing (slight contact with pads is normal).
