Front passenger wheel locked up

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

What you described is the exact symptom of a bad rubber brake hose. However, you replaced it. What I would suggest is to remove it again and see if you are able to blow compressed air through it both ways. Something is telling me that there is a problem with the new hose as well.

Here are general directions for caliper replacement:

Here are the directions for replacement from alldata specific to hose replacement. I've attached exploded views of the caliper and its components for you to review and make sure all it together correctly. However, it sounds like you got it right, but there is an issue with that hose. Here are the directions for hose replacement. Also, starting with picture 4, the pics will correlate with the directions.

BRAKE LINE REPLACEMENT

NOTE:
Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles.
Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; If brake fluid gets on the paint, wash it off immediately with water.

1. Replace the brake hose (A) if the hose is twisted, cracked, or if it leaks.
2. Disconnect the brake hose from the brake line (B) using a 10 mm flare-nut wrench (C)

3. Remove and discard the brake hose clip (A) from the brake hose (B).
4. Remove the connector bolt (c), and disconnect the brake hose from the caliper. 5. Remove the brake hose from the knuckle.

6. Install the brake hose (A) on the knuckle with 12mm flange bolt (B) first, then connect the brake hose to the caliper with the connector bolt (C) and new sealing washers (D).
7. Install the brake hose (A) on the upper brake hose bracket (B) with a new brake hose clip (C).
8. Connect the brake line (D) to the brake hose
9. After installing the brake hose, bleed the brake system.
10. Perform the following checks.
Check the brake hose and line joint for leaks, and tighten if necessary.
Check the brake hoses for interference and twisting.

Make sure nothing is pinched, twisted or kinked, and let me know what you find. I hope this helps.

Take care,
Joe

Hi Mark:
Honestly, the ABS does the opposite. It is designed to release pressure to the brakes, so it does not make sense. Please keep in mind, when you checked to see if the fluid came through the hose, that is normal. However, when you release the brakes, there should be somewhat of a low pressure/vacuum from the hose. Did the original caliper function the same? (You had to open the bleeder to release pressure)?

Hi Mark. I was just discussing your brake problem with a tech I work with. He said the same thing I did. However, through our conversation, we thought of a few other things.

What I need you to try is this. When the wheel is locked up, first loosen the steel brake hose at the proportioning valve. Does that make it release? If so, tighten that line and move to the master cylinder (MC). Pump the brakes so that wheel locks and release the brakes. Open the lines at the MC. Does that release the wheel? If it does, I suspect the MC could be the issue and not fully returning and allowing the fluid to return. However, the proportioning valve is suspect at this time. If it releases at the proportioning valve and not the MC, that is the issue.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe

Mark, it sounds like you are getting it. Let me know what you find.
