Brakes locking up.

Well, I'm not 100% clear on what you are saying here.

Is this just the front disks locking up?

Do they lock up without pushing on the pedal? (which is kinda what I got from the way you worded it)

They are the front discs locking. A few days ago I was messing around driving the car and I knew the brakes needed to be bled; they felt a little spongy but worked fine and didn't lock up. After bleeding the brakes today the brakes felt stiffer and after I tried driving the car the would lock up without me pushing on the pedal.


Make sure the brake push-rod is returning enuff to let the Master cylinder return to it's stop..
If it appears fine,, replace the M/C..

hope it helps


There seems to be a little travel the pedal could come up further, however while in drive and I push the brake pedal up as far as it will go and it will not release the brakes.

I plan to check and see after the motor cools down later if the pressure has released; if the pressure hasn't released then I will crack open the lines on the master cylinder to relieve the pressure.
