So, I took my TB to a guy who does my auto work to get the brakes improved. I had like they were a little weak and I tow my camper with it, so wanted it right for spring.
he pulled all pads off, and odd thing, he told me both front calipers froze and even with clamps he couldn’t push them out. (Made no sense to me cause he said they were not froze when he test drove)
So he did 4 sets of new pads, 2 front rotors, and a master cylinder. Not sure if it was new or rebuilt but I think it was aro7 d $160 for the MC
He also told me he had a hard time bleeding them, and he replaced all the fluid. But he finally got it bled
well, I get it back and the front brakes are dragging. Feels like I’m towing 1000 lb extra weight. The pedal is harder and quick to clamp down. If I let off gas it feeels like it’s slowing down quicker
I drove 20 miles figuring out what was going on, stopped for gas and when I left it was good. Not dragging but the brakes feel not so strong like before I took it to him
today I drove again. Good at first, but 10 miles out it starts dragging again. I get there and wheels are super hot and smells like I came down a mountain.
I turn th3 motor off on off on. P7 p brakes hard with it running and off. Finally it releases and drives home normal but a bit soft the whole 20 miles.
I’m reading maybe a bad master cylinder, possible air he didn’t bleed or maybe the booster?
It all seems related to the fact he couldn’t push the original calipers out and said they froze. I think something was holding them. I’m planning to take it back to him to fix but I’d like input on what you guys think it could be. He’s an hour away so I’d rather get it right this time.
