Re: P-30 brakes lock up after driving a few minutes. by mike e
Post New Message Hi Eddie Mike here,sounds like you have some big troubles.I just finished my 86 Itasca front breaks a few days ago.When brakes start to drag I would go out and feel all four hubs not hub caps.See if one is much hoter than the others.I had my front left locking up,but when left starts building up pressure it all so builds pressure on the other side.New systems may even criss cross.I see you have 4wheel disc. If all are same temp my have other problem.Was the master cylinder removed during brake work.??Why were all rotors replaced.???Was it locking before brake work.???Were the caliper slides lubed during install.Did the mechanic teel the hubs during test drive.Was the master cyl.flushed out with clean brake fluid.May have dirty fluid and plugging up the return hole in the master cyl.With cover off top of master cyl. have someone apply brakes,engine off.look for a spurt of fluid in master cyl. It just squirts up a bit in top of fluid.If no squirt the return hole is pluged or the push rod on the back side is adjusted to far forward.Thats why I asked if master cyl. had been removed.Don't know where your master is but hard to get to on my Itasca. Well just a few ideas Eddie, Hope this helps.I will check this post in the AM for any other info you may have. Good Luck Mike
