You failed to readjust the pistons. Remove the 14mm bolt plugging the hole for the 4mm allen you turned to retract the pistons. Then turn the allen until the wheel locks up. Then back off the allen until the wheel just frees up. Go about 1/4 turn more toward loose. Now you can check by pushing the ebrake lever on the caliper toward the front of the car. It should lock the wheel when you move it about 3/8 inch. You did put the cables back in the lever at the caliper? Ywan Mason
