I replaced both calipers and had the rotors turned.
Today both the breaks were dragging very badly. I took it to a break shop and they cant figure out why the front breaks are locking up. They said its only the front> They lock up then after they cool off, they are fine again. During that time, the break peddle is really hard to push and there is not a lot of stoping going on.

Any Ideas on what this could be?

 

wrong part/faulty part/air in lines/shoddy labor.

 

yes

 

correct then?

 

without doubt

 

I guess that i should also mention that this is a 1989 LX model. I guess i will try the break lines then

 

brake trouble like this?

 

No..not quite that bad

At least I hope not.

 

Rut Row Shaggy!

 

Well,
I havent heard back from the shop yet. I guess that They will call thursday. No hurry, it's not as if i need a car.

I have to say, this board sure does know a lot about Hondas. Im impressed.

 

Well,
Got the car back today. Its got new calipers and new rotors and good bleading. Brakes are still dragging. I am ready to roll this bitch into the lake, but it wont roll down the boat ramp since the brakes are dragging to much.
I was told it should not be the master cylinder since if that was bad there would not be enough presure to keep the calipers locked. My thinking though is that if it is restricting flow it would not allow the callipers to unlock.
I am taking it back for the 3rd time tomorrow and telling them i dont give a rats *** what they do, but they had better freaken fix it. I am getting seriously pissed off with this place.

 

A missadjusted master cylinder pushrod can cause that. Have they checked that?

 

i wouldn't take it back, Id take it somewhere else.
