first i will try to describe the problem in a meaningful way. i have newer calipers in the rear (from PO). the right rear has developed a drag problem. it does not seem to release, and hence, drags, heats up, etc. I have tried to decipher the haynes manual, but to no good result. does the brake proportioning valve have anything to do with this? how does one adjust the venting? i messed with that a bit, but the allen screw and lock nut allwo brake fluid to seep out of from arond them when screwed in, and only seem to tighten up when run out. none of which, by the way, effects the drag at all.
i realize this is a rambling question, but i am in over my head at this point. any knowledge out there? |

this is also a classic symptom of an old brake flex hose.
they swell inside and won't allow fluid to return to the MC after the caliper is pressurised. if cracking the bleed fitting releases some residual pressure and frees the caliper - bingo. (bleed the caliper after doing this ...) rear brake flex hoses can be a b!tch but if they're bad, they've gotta go ... |
