First, I engaged the parking brake so that I could jack up the car and remove the wheel and fix the wheel bearing. Then, before I touched anything else, I put the wheel back on because I didnt have the correct sized sockets to do the job. When I went to drive the car shortly after, all of the calipers are locked up as though my foot was on the brake. They won't release and I've already tried everything I can think of. The brakes, rotors, and calipers are all brand new, so I don't know why they wont release!
