I need some help - I replace the front rotors, calipers, pad, flex line and m/c. Now when I went for a test drive after several hard stops the front brakes get hot and lock up.
After they cool they release. What should look for? Thanks Tom |

The MC was replaced about two months prior to the rest of the parts and was working well.
I have plenty of free play/ with the brake pedal until the brakes heat up the it goes away. Shouldn't the excess fluid go back to the reservoir? I plan on changing the fluid again to see if any "crap" comes out since it does not appear the brakes were well maintained over the last 40 years. |
