Thread: Front brakes locking.

Tweet

I figured out the calipers were not binding up after all. It only seemed like it but in all actuality when I pried up on the caliper it wasn't realigning it, it was pushing the piston back and relieving the pressure. I replummed the MC to the proportioning valve and adjusted the brake pedal and I think everything will be fine. I haven't had a chance to take it for a test drive because I still have to reposition the brake light switch to make up for the moved pedal but I think everything will be fine. Still not sure why the pedal goes down when started but I can spin the wheels just fine when it is running and up on jack stands.
Thanks again everyone for your patience and help!

As long as you have all the air out of the system, AND, you have the rear brakes adjusted properly, your pedal will not drop. It will stay in the high position. The rear shoe adjustment controls how high the pedal is on that first pump of the pedal.

I have disk in the rear as well. I guess it is possible that I still have some air. I will bleed them again and see what happens.
thanks
