Replying to: hockeydadof2 (Feb 27, 2007 3:27 pm) Drivers side works normal. I Try to push the brake pads back and no go. I open the bleed and the caliper moves back like normal. Pump the brakes back up and drags again not just a little but like you are pushing the brakes I can bleed it at the master cylinder fitting and the caliper will push back. I have never had one side to the other not working the same, Any info would be great.

Replying to: mxjeffb (Feb 27, 2007 7:03 pm) The brake hose on the right side had swelled. When you pushed the brake the hose would open from the pressure but would not let the fluid return making the pads drag. If you think you have this problem pump up the brake and crack open the bleed line. The brake fluid leaks and the brake pad stops draging. Pump the brake again and crack open the brake line at the top of the hose at the frame. If the brake is still dragging then your hose is not letting the fluid back out and making the brake drag. The hose has swelled on the in side and is not letting the fluid return.
