Went to move my parents car today and noticed some odd sounds coming from it, after hearing them argue back and forth about how my mom knew something was wrong and how my dad should've taken it to get checked by a professional I decided to take a look myslef. After a short drive I noticed smoke billowing out the drivers side rear wheel. I got it back home and we spent a few minutes giving the wheel squirts of water which immediately boiled away. We checked the other wheels too but they seemed to be fine. Once it was cool we took the wheel and caliper bolts off, it took some hammering as the caliper bolts were seized. The caliper refused to budge or be pried off and working the brakes and handbrake didn't do anything. I 'chiseled' the caliper off the rotor using a hammer and socket wrench, but when I took a look at it nothing seemed to be wrong. The pins moved freely and the piston rotated all the way in without issue. I put it back together and went for another short drive to check it, but this time it was the rear passenger side brake that was smoking while the drivers side was barely warm??Google AI says a failing master cylinder/abs or internal hose restriction is trapping pressure and that the pressure shifted to the opposite caliper when I screwed the piston into the drivers side one and pumped the brakes. Does that make sense? Why wouldn't pressure equalize between the two?
>>28951166>trusting the clankersYou won't be missed, cogsucker.
>>28951176I don't trust the clankers which is why I spent half an hour typing out a greentext on this stupid fucking phone only to be told by 4chins clanker that my post was spam. And then rewrote it as a condensed non greentext to get some human responses on why this is happening.
>>28951186And yet your first instinct when this happened was to suckle the robotic teat. NGMI
>>28951166wrenchlet
>>28951166This can happen if the pads were changed without greasing the slide tracks. Also, if the car is old then one of the rubber body-to-caliper brake hoses could be deteriorated
>>28951166it does sound like there's something wrong with the hydraulic system. maybe something in the lines or a problem with the booster
>>28951166how old are the hoses? even if they look ok they could've collapsed internally causing weird shit like this.
>>28951203>>28951204I'm starting to wonder if I caused it the second time. The brake hose keeper clip bolt broke off and the mechanic that worked on this before zip tied the thing together tightly, I tried to redo his work after assembling it back together but there was no good way to do it and now I'm thinking maybe I pinched the hose when I did so. Maybe he pinched the hose originally.
>>28951226wrenchlet lol
>>28951377it can and does happen. sometimes only one corner will drag and it's because the pressure from the master is enough to force it open, then when you let off the brakes there's not enough pressure from the piston seal to keep the line from collapsing again
>>28951382>there's not enough pressure from the piston seal to keep the line from collapsing againThoroughbred wrenchlet from a long line of wrenchlet men
Idk, take the brakes apart and find out
>>28951383lol the irony
>>28951514Pls explain
So I took the passenger side caliper apart and it was the same as the drivers side, except this time I tried to crack open the bleeder first to see if it relieved the pressure, it did not. The fluid just dripped out like normal. So idk wtf is going on now, clearly trapped pressure moved from the drivers side to the passengers side, but nothing squirted out of the bleeder. Hopefully it was just pistons being seized for some inexplicable reason, need to go for a drive and see if the brakes lock up again.
+1on the internal hose restriction. If there are any metal brackets around the hose that hold it in place, they could have swollen up from rust and squeeze the hose shut. brake pressure goes in, does not come out.>t GM owner
>>28951646>If there are any metal brackets around the hose that hold it in place, they could have swollen up from rust and squeeze the hose shut.yea, this happens. definitely not a wrenchlet
OP's story reminds me of when I actually had a caliper issue with front left, obviously that is the one deteriorating the quickest with the crap being thrown towards it from the oncoming cars. Was clueless for a week and couldn't figure out why my car kept eating like 20% more fuel constantly, then finally connected the dots when the car started to slow down in neutral as if it would be engine braking. Glad I didn't torch anything.
>>28951166Why does it look like some vapetard just blew a puff at the wheel?
>>28951654>actually has no clueYeah who's the nocar nowrench. Back to yiddit
>>28951991Talking about a collapsed hose resisting hydraulic 100s of psi of hydraulic pressure ROMFLAMAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, ROMFMALAMAMAH fucking wrenchlet
>>28951993>cantread nowrench detectedThe hydraulic return is not "hundreds of PSI". The application is, but the release IS NOT. The collapsed or restricted hose acts as a check valve, with 'muh 6000000' psi going in only.Holy raging retarded rabbis, you dumb slut, try working on an actual car for the first time.
>>28951632you've been calling people wrenchlets without actually explaining why yourself. the metal bracket thing seems far fetched but internally collapsed hoses that end up acting as quasi-one way valves do happen.
>>28952037>the metal bracket thing seems far fetched but internally collapsed hoses It's not far fetched at all. These things actually happened, and people actually using wrenches are the only ones who will find discover them.
>>28952037Bro you ever get tired of larping as a car guy? A fucking brake hose acting as a check valve dude shut the fuck up you wrenchlet faggot tranny freakkkk. Every car you will ever own will be automatic, McDonald's struts and a plastic engine
>>28952040I figured the pressure from depressing the pedal would force the rusted bracket apart but I've never had to deal with rust so I dunno there. But yeah I can only assume the other anon is just shitposting because internally collapsed hoses do happen.
>>28952046You're just raging and dropping every chan word you can find because obvious nowrench nocar
>>28952046oh right you're the maccas guy, carry on shitposting lol.
>>28952051Dawg a fucking brake hose check valve dude kys lmao dumb fuck
>>28952049The bracket was swollen on the inside with rust. It would have been a piece of cake to just pry it open but the fucking thing was thick and hard, like that anons bfs bbc. Had to change the whole hose. This was on 2006 Pontiac so I didn't even bolt the nee bracket up just left it hanging off the hose. Fuck em
>>28952054>brake hose check valveIts any hose check valve if you restrict it and put more pressure one way than the other. it's literally acting like a check valve. You being this fucking stupid isn't even funny anymore
>>28952056kek sounds like a real shitbox. glad i don't have to deal with rust>>28952057it's just the guy that shitposts about maccas struts etc. don't take him too seriously
>>28952062Oh yeah Canada is so royally fucked with the rust m8
>>28952057>Its any hose check valve if you restrict it and put more pressure one way than the other.Bro a fucking brake hose turning into a check valve....you know you never touched a fucking screwdriver let alone a wrench kek.
>>28951166Bleed the brakes. If one is only trickling, you have deteriorated hose at that point.
