Brakes Locked Up

VYTAL · 11-02-2003, 01:44 PM

Big problem here, i recently just change my MBC, bled the brakes checked all lines no leaks...now the problem is when i was all done i took it for a test run..just around the corner as i was putting it in neutral the car did not continue rolling it just suddenly came to a slow but quick stop just as if you were to apply the brakes...as i was driving up the driveway the brake pedal stiffin and the brakes locked..it seems like there is alot of pressure...could this be a bad MBC or is there another simptom that i missed...This is my only transportation i need a solution fast......

any mechanics get at me asap

thanks

first make shure ya got the right part. Next is there any free play in the top of the pedal stroke? If not when the brakes start to heat up every thing expands and locks the brakes. There is a pushrod that connects to the top of the brake pedal and is ajustable. Ya may have to ajust it.

I have the right part....at first theres play but after driving for bout 15 it stiffins and thats where im not shure what the problem is..is it hard to adjust the pushrod? what will that do? will it allow the brake to let go and loosen up? because my front brakes are locked wheels dont even turn...

thanks for the respose any other solutions?
