Yesterday at 04:00 AM1 day comment_676606 That’s a first for me to hear. Not sure how that explains the heat problem you are describing? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/69416-front-brakes-dragging/?&page=3#findComment-676606 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some brake dust everywhere. I ended up doing 3 things at once, flushing the brake fluid. Disassembled the calipers, and repack and set the wheel bearings correctly. The wheel bearings heating up may have caused air in the brake fluid to expand and tighten the brakes, I don't know. I just finished it off by adjusting the pedal to the floorboard distance, it was 7", now it's 8". Same with the clutch pedal, it was an inch off. Then set the master-vac push rod length to 3.5mm below the flange surface. I had backed everything off while 15 miles away trying to get home, not knowing what was going on. Things are looking good now. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/69416-front-brakes-dragging/?&page=3#findComment-676607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
