Reply to "Front Brakes Dragging"

The pistons are frozen in the calipers. The fix is to remove the front calipers, force the pistons out (compressed air or grease), clean everything, and reassemble with new rubber. Our vendors offer rebuilt calipers on an exchange basis. SACC and others offer new Wilwood calipers that are bolt on replacements.

It sounds like your calipers are original and it could a chore to rebuild them. You may have to replace the pistons due to pitting from corrosion.

Your flex brake lines are probably original and should be replaced.

It looks like you are in Orange County. Perhaps our club (OC Panteras) can lend a hand. There is a club meeting tonight starting a 6PM.
