This vehicle recently came into my possession with a bad master cylinder. On top of that, I found the left rear caliper to be seized. I decided to replace both, slap new rear pads on and bleed the entire system. Here's where it gets interesting...
Now when I drive the car, once the brake fluid gets hot the brakes start to drag at first then lock up altogether. Once the car cools off, I can drive off no problem. Today I tested for pushrod or pedal adjustment issues. I got things warm and locked up. Jacked up the rear end only to find that the new caliper spins free and the other 3 wheels are locked. I loosed the master cylinder anyway about 1/4 inch and there was no change.
I'm a bit lost. Not quite sure where the problem is. Any help would be appreciated.
