Now I =am= confused. Following list advice, I decided to try and see if my brakes locking on and staying locked was a problem with my flexible hoses. I was told to loosen the connection and if the br

It's almost certainly the flexible hoses. If it were further back in the system, the wheel would have freed up when you opened up the line at the chassis. To make absolutely, finally certain, open t

Philip, All that you should have to do is loosen the bleeder. If the brake on that corner loosens up, the problem is hydraulics (master cylinder, rubber hose, etc.). If the brake is still locked, you

For the time it takes I would remove the front brake cylinders for overhaul. The repair kits are not expensive and the job is simple enough. It sounds to me as though the slave cylinders are sticking

On 6/26/98 2:31 PM so and so Dave Formstone said. (And I quote) Phillip, I agree with Dave. Get the kits and hoses and replace/rebuild. The easiest way I have found to bleed the brakes is - not one o

Jim, It looks like you may be the lucky winner in the "Guess what's wrong with my car now?" contest. I'm thinking master cylinder. Here's why: Both front brakes are locked tight and used to be fine w

If it is just the front brakes locking up, you =may= have some corrosion between the dust seal the fluid seal on the caliper pistons. Such corrosion can make the piston a very tight fit so that it do

Philip, I agree totaly with Tom. Once the line is loosened or the bleedscrew is opened the brakes should release - regardless of the condition of the MC or any other part of the system. I'd say the c

Aha! This may just be it. (I know, I said that with the master cylinder.) Here's the deal. I had the car out in the driveway working on the front suspension on a sunny day. I didn't finish and along
