Front driver side brake feels as if it is stuck.. I changed the pads.. did no good... Caliper acts as if its stuck on pad.. but the brake pedal is very sift.. as if theres air in lines or master cylinder went out.. any possibilities ? or anyone HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS????
PLEASE HELP....
IM GETTING DESPERATE

 

You need to get the caliper rebuilt or replaced. That is because something in the caliper, most likely the piston, is frozen.

 

thank you majn.. this doesnt sound liek the master cylinder to you though ? beeing that the pedal ( brake pedal) is very soft and airy ???

 

sounds like you have 2 problems

1. frozen caliper
2. air in your lines

you can bleed them in the following order

any front wheel, opposite rear wheel, other front wheel, remaining rear wheel

 

I forgot to recommend one thing first. You need to do two things, flush the brake fluid and replace with Valavoline Syntec DOT 3/4 brake fluid and bleed the brakes properly. If that doesn't work, then replace the master cylinder. I acidentally missed the part about brake pedal feel .

 

Is that the proper bleed order ?

My Haynes manual recommends front left, front right, rear right, and rear left...

 

Bleeding order:

Rear right, front left, rear left, front right.

 

Know of any good place to find cheap rebuilt/new front driver side caliper?anything online with quick delivery ?

 

this is the third time I have posted phone numbers for salvages yards for people to find used calipers in two days. I should just put it in my sig.

On every frozen caliper I've seen you could not change the pads because you couldn't compress the piston far enough to fit the new pads over the rotor! So if you put on new pads and were able to compress the piston it's probably isn't seized. With the car in the air does that wheel spin with particularly high resistance?
