Stuck Brake Caliper or Bad Rubber Brake Line

Stuck Brake Caliper or Bad Rubber Brake Line. Video link to bad hose. • Bad Rubber Brake Hose ...
Make sure the brake caliper is what is stuck and not trouble with the rubber flex line. In this video I try and show how I determine if the brake caliper is stuck, the slides are stuck ,or a rubber flex line is causing the issue. If you try and push the piston back in the caliper by sticking a screwdriver in and pulling,it will give you a good indication of what the issue is. You may also need to loosen a bleeder or a banjo bolt to test the line . By relieving brake fluid pressure , if the brake caliper goes in easy then chances is the rubber flex line is the issue.

I've never gravity bled brakes before... always had to have someone apply the footbrake a number of times.. Great clip.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I've replaced everything but the hoses, lines, and expensive stuff and still dragging. Apparently this is fairly prevalent in Ford F150 in the 2002_2006 or so era. As is brake line rust. So here comes the penetrating oil and trip to the ijit auto parts place for hoses..... Thanks man, nice troubleshooting and video!!!

The rotor guard will sometimes get hit by rocks and well sound like your break is dragging. I just bend it back a little bit and no more sound
_Just stumbled across this vid. Yep, I had this happen 6 months ago on my wife's Pontiac GTP. She had burnt the dust boot around the caliper piston and blued the rotor, probably made it hard as diamond xD. I bought a new caliper, rotor and pads. Like you, I couldn't get the caliper to budge until I loosened the bleeder. I went back to Autozone and bought the new flexible line and everything's worked like normal since._ _I took the old line to work with me (Ind Maint Tech since '88) and performed an autopsy on it and found the inner liner had split and folded backwards at the crimped hyd fitting, at the bracket (i guess because of it flexing ). And yes it was acting like a check valve, just like you said._ _I know these new Poly-Lined hyd hoses protect Industrial systems from rubber debris in sensitive systems, but they're not designed to be flexed on a regular basis, like they are in autos. Like most all plastics the Poly liners get brittle over time._ _I'm sure your vid will help thousands of people. I think during the next oil change/tire rotation, I'm going to replace the passenger side flex line also._

Thanks for sharing the autopsy report. I was gonna do the same thing lol.
I remembered watching this when you originally posted it, and referred back to it this week. Turns out I had a bad hose on my old Town & Country minivan. You do a great job of calmly, methodically diagnosing problems. I would have figured it out on my own, but not without a lot of head scratching and wasted time. Thank you for making these wonderful videos! I always look forward to them!

How likely would a brake hose get stuck and act like a check valve? If it ever did would it make any sense to just blow out the hose using compressed air and re-use? Thanks.

RadioRex72 I have a front brake hanging up on our '95 Buick Riviera, it's overheated one of the rotors and caused it to warp more than it already was. I noticed that when I let off of the brake pedal after a stop that the brakes gradually release. I have a feeling it's a bad front brake hose but I'm going to check everything.....And he does explain things well, "I like the way he talks"! Lol, he kinda reminds me of the way Joe Namath sounds.....

Good eye Ziggy . I saw it on the video too, The rotor is loose on there. I took it all apart and re lubed the slides, then realized the pads were wore on a taper. I think that may be doing it. Thanks for watching .

I was going to comment about the uneven slider pins movement also. And not to be a broken record if a bunch of people already said it . Then I saw this comment and apparently you caught it. I just ordered that permatex silicone brake lube. Its supposed to be good to 3000F. and wont swell the rubber boots on the sliders. I will find out after time. I did alot of research before I decided on that specific type. Hope I made a good choice.
Outstanding video.

I’m still amazed at the banjo design and how 2 copper washers can stop brake fluid from leaking. If I was designing it I would have had a screw down fitting like on the other end of the hose has.

Wilber that is a great way to bleed the brakes, I like it. I just greased the pins and it seems to have stopped the front left brake binding, if it sticks again I will replace the hose and caliper and use your method of bleeding the brakes.
