help; stuck-up brakes

[kenet_3]

tulong naman nga tsikot pips,
car is corolla 98,
nag-i-stuck-up kasi ang preno after mga ilang minutes sa byahe
tataas muna yung pedal tapos mayamaya ramdam na yung pagdikit ng preno.

ano kaya ang mga possible causes nito, or ano ba ang mga procedures para madiagnose?

tnx

hhmmm, not sure but I would go with new/better brake fluid, stainless steel brake lines, check for obvious leaks, check the brake master cylinder.

calipars and lines.

[OTEP]

Any recent brake work? On the Vitara, the brakes stuck due to improper installation of the new brake master.

Are all brakes stuck or just one? If only one or two are stuck, it might be a caliper problem. A caliper rebuild kit will usually solve this.

[speedyfix]

normally a brake master install won't go bad unless you play with the pushrod and cause it to always be depressed.

have the calipers and/or drums checked asap.

[afrasay]

Are you sure brakes ang stuck or yun bearings ang nag seize? Does it runs after you let it cool down? Just a thought.

[bratski]

pareho tayo ng problem, except mine sa rear drum brakes ko parating stuck up, until now walang makitang solution, madalas kasi mabaha ride ko and nung milenyo nag stuck lahat ng brakes, pina cleaning ko lahat ng brakes pero until now yung rear brakes ko sometimes get stuck up, pero occassionally nalang

[kenet_3]

dami agad replies ah tnx guyz, ok talaga tsikot hehe

nakalimutan ko i-mention,
pag pala pinahinga ko yung kotse (ginawa ko nung minsang naninikit ang brakes, stop over muna ko sa isang gas station) lumalalim ulit yung tapak ko sa pedal and ok na sya. (just like what sir afrasay said)

napa-bleed na rin pala, kasi nung una akala may hangin.

at saka sa tingin ko yung harap lang ang nag-stuck kasi hinihipo ko yung mags sobra init nung sa harap, di ko lang napansin kung isang side lang ang umiinit talaga

so bearing na nga?

tnx again

[afrasay]

to find out, lift mo and turn the wheels. see if you hear a grinding sound. pati yun kay bratski baka eto din ang problem.

[speedyfix]

check narin the drums and see if clearance is ok. if not adjust mo nalang.

[radiazone]

ive experienced this one, pag hinawakan mo ang rim mainit siya di gaya ng ibang rim... so ginawa ko tinanggal ung drum then nilinis ung cylinder ba yun kasi kinakalawang nagstuck-up ayaw bumalik.. then lagay ng konting grease sa rubber bots ba yun pra hindi maanuhan ng tubig kung sakaling malusong sa baha...

[bratski]

yung akin nagkaproblema dahil nalusong sa baha. yung rear drum brakes ko lang nag stuck up occasionally, usually pag malamig ang brakes sa morning and pag driving in stop and go traffic on a hot afternoon naman parang matatanggal yung mga brake shoes tuwing mag brake ako.Pinalinis ko na before, bleeding pero ganun parin. halos hindi ko na ginagamit hand brake pag park dahil madalas ma stuck

My car also had brake lock-up. Cause was a plugged flexible hose that runs to the slave cylinder. It would allow pressure to build up on the piston but refuse to release that pressure when the brake pedal was released.
