Re: [DML] Re: brakes locking up and won't release



Based on all of your advice and having my car in our shop today, I think
everyone's right about the problem. First we flushed the system A LOT with
fresh DOT 4, then I went for a drive and noticed the same gradually stiffer
brake pedal. After a few minutes of driving we pulled it on the lift and
all of the wheels were difficult to turn by hand. The tech relieved
pressure at a couple of the bleeder screws and the wheels were able to turn
freely again. So obviously pressure keeps building toward the calipers but
fluid is not returning to the resevoir. Therefore it's got to be a bad
master cylinder, right? I hope that's all, however I also need a new right
front caliper since one of the pistons is frozen in place.

Oh well. I can't help but love the car no matter what happens. That's
something probably no other car in the world could do for me.
