Looking to upgrade my present brake system but I want to keep it 4 lug AND keep the parking brake. Not to mention, staying out of the Poor House at the same time. I'm not opposed to moving up to a larger MC. Is there such an animal? TIA, Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Sounds like your flex-line liners are swollen.
They pinch off the fluid flow which causes the pads to drag and overheat fluid cant flow back out. Once you boil the fluid in a caliper, they stop working completely (in that caliper) |
