Default Re: Front Brakes Locked - Seeking Advice

Sounds like what I experienced in my 85 track car one time. Now that car did not have ABS so I can?t say if the ABS can cause this. I replaced the MC and front lock up solved. I didn?t take the MC apart to see what happened, but the MC changed solved the problem for me.

Just finished bleeding and installing new OEM master cylinder.

I think those lines are okay at this point. As soon as I started loosening the front line I could feel the brakes let free. Good sign I hope - thanks!

Thanks Brian...reassuring for sure. Hope to get system bled at the wheels this weekend.

I appreciate everyone's feedback. Very much.

The new master cylinder resolved my issue.

Chili but sunny day for a nice drive - they sure like to run in the cold air!
