I have a 70 charger with manual front dics brakes, afew weeks ago the brakes started grabbing pulling hard to right. Calipers not releaseing I checked with afew guys at the auto parts store and they all said I needed to change my calipers, because they were sticking, Well I did that today and THE NEW ONES STILL STICK!!! It locks up the front I have to open the breeder value to get them to release. Can ANYONE tell me what else to change? Can't drive it like this.....

 

Sounds like tour brake hoses are collapsing on the inside.Re place your brake hoses and you should alright. Mark

 

If both calipers are not releasing, I would be looking at the master cyl. Make sure pedal linkage is lubed and free. The piston in your master cyl may not be returning to the fully released position.

 

When he opens the bleeder the calipers release,That is a sure sign of bad brake hoses.The fluid is going one way and not returning back to the master cylinder because of the brake hoses.I just had this problem with someones car and won a lot money from it. Mark

 

That's the reason why someone started making the stainless steel flexable front brake lines.

 

The fluid return port in the master cyl could be clogged too... especially since both sides are sticking

 

what is a fluid return port

 

had happen to 3 vehicles change your brake line its rotted inside n collapsing every time you compress the calliper therefore locking up. We went through 3 calipers before we figured it out! good luck

 

went through 3 calipers to find out it was only a bad break line rotted n collapsing on the inside therefore locking up the caliper

 

Gerenal 01 just wanted to know how you made out. Mark
