Prob fixed. Im dumb... It was the dust seals that were keeping the hubs from spinning. Thanks for yall's feedback

I've had my car jacked up for a week or so and when I went to lower it the both front brakes are locked. They worked fine before, I bled the front and it didnt seem to do anything. Anyone experience this before?

did u try and take the brakes apart to see if they are siezed?

 

Weird. Try taking the pads out and resetting the caliper.

 

Before you you take anything apart get a big screw drive and stick it in center of the caliper and try to push back the pistion . This will also revivle if the slides are working

 

Or get a c-clamp like the rest of the world does

 

No need for a c- clamp thats the old fashion way and it involes takin things apart

??

 

Are you an idot ???????????? You dont need to use a c-clamp to do brakes

 

How do you reset the piston?

 

Push It back with a screw drive

 

I take the pads out. Then loosely bolt the caliper back on over the rotor. Take a big screwdriver or prybar and push the piston in. Make sure the cap is off the brake resivor to push the fluid up. C-clamp method works fine as well. If you have dirty fluid please flush it out.

Didn't know they were that easy to push back in, thanks for the info!

 

Not a problem I didnt know that either until I started working at a place that does brakes.
