Hi All,
I just finished putting on rebuilt rear brake calipers done by PMB. Also, new braided steel brake lines and set of new Textar pads on all 4 wheels (1975 914). I took it out to do the “bedding” break-in process and I noticed it was pulling to the right. So, (after doing cool down slow driving)when I got home I checked temperature of rotors. Both back rotors were about 125 degrees. However front right was about 240 degrees. BUT front left was only about 85 degrees. To a novice like me seems like front left is not working. Any suggestions on diagnostic procedures or what to check out. Thanks PDXBob |

Make sure you're bleeding from the uppermost bleed screw....bleeding from the lower screw will get you nowhere.
Once you're certain all the air is out, have someone run the pedal and make sure the caliper is actually clamping down on the front rotor. Very possible the pistons are locked up in the caliper. |
