Thread: Front brakes locking.

Tweet

Thanks guys you gave me a lot to try. Yes this is a new system. That is everything accept the back brakes which ironically are fine. No I did not use dot 5 fluid. I just checked and my right front is still dragging,I guess I will have to tear that apart but not sure I will be able to fix it from the heat damage. Now that you mention it ojh I have also heard that about the proportioning valves. It looks like I will be replacing it with an adjustable one. I think I will also find a way to put a return spring in. Although I don't know how with the little room I have to work with.

It doesn't take much room, depending on the type and location of your master cylinder, it can be as simple as this example. Look at the 'Universal Brake & Clutch Pedal Return Spring Kit' shown near the bottom of this page.
