Re: [DML] Brake Problem

[Bob Brandys <BobB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Your story is similar to a problem I have experience on my other older 
cars.   THe from brake lines deteriorate internally and cause all kinds 
of weird problems.

these include.

1. The randomly sticking brake caliper.
2. Expanding hoses that make it seem like the master cylinder has failed.
3. Very soft brake pedal
4. Self adjusters in the rear that don't work.

I really have not found an simple diagnostic to identify this problem 
 other than age.  I have considered installing steel braided lines but 
won't know if they work better for another 30 years. !!
