I have a 1975 914 1.8 and I keep having various brake problems with the car. Replaced leaky master cylinder last summer. Installed PMB rebuilt rear calipers last Fall. The flexible lines at all four corners have been replaced in the last few years.
I last drove the car about 6 weeks ago. Stopped after driving for about 20 minutes and the front left wheel was hot. Obviously, the front left caliper wasn't releasing and pads were rubbing.
Didn't have any tools with me so I tried to let it cool down a little. I drove about a mile and checked it again and the wheel was at normal temperature. Made it home and it was still normal temperature.
Finally had a chance to pull the front left wheel off last weekend. I had my wife apply the breaks and that caliper didn't work. I was able to move the wheel with my hands and couldn't see any movement on the caliper.
I couldn't see any leaks and the flexible hose on the front left has been recently replaced with the stainless type.
Any ideas of what I need to look for? Is it time to have the front calipers rebuilt?
