Reply to "Brakes - all locked up"

Okay, a non-driver when you got it. Sitting for how long?

My best guess, your calipers have varnished/gummed up pistons.

Nice thing is the pistons are stainless steel, so they should be okay. Bad thing is they can now be a PITA to remove.

Fronts are two piece calipers. DO NOT TAKE THE TWO HALVES APART. There is an o-ring seal that IS NOT included in the rebuild kits. You should be able to rebuild with them together.

Rebuild kits at any vendor. Remove caliper, still connected to hose. Remove pads. Wood block two opposing pistons. C clamp third piston. Put caliper in plastic bag and then in a large tub. Hit the brake pedal until piston comes out. Clean up fluid mess. Remove old dust seal. Scotchbrite varnish, etc. Install new piston seal. Install piston. Install dust seal. Repeat as needed.

Bead blast calipers, paint them, replace bleeders with speed bleeders. If you can get the old ones out, that is. Choices are yours.

Or it could be a sticky MC if you get lucky.

good luck,

Larry
