Brake Issue - 1992 M998

[andrewbranch06]

I rebuilt the rear brake calipers, flushed the system, reconnected everything and bled the system. Now the drivers side rear brake caliper is locked up and the front brakes don't engage. Any ideas on what this might be?

What brake fluid did you use? DOT 3? DOT 5?

 

[andrewbranch06]

Dot5

Does it still have the driveshat parking brake or was it upgraded to dual service/parking brake calipers? Did you use a power bleeder to flush the sytem or do it manually?

Make sure that the locked up caliper isn't a mechanical problem.

It has the newer parking brake on each of the rear brake calipers.

To diagnose a mechanical problem with the caliper I guess I'd have to take it back apart?
