Hello again everyone,
i am having an issue with my front left caliper. Seems like the pistons are still holding pressure against the pads. when i come back from driving, you can hear the rotors ticking from being so hot. so today i bled that line and then removed the caliper to compress the pistons. the lower pistons went back in fairly smooth, but the upper piston took quite some muscle to get it to budge. once it broke free, it went all the way back in. i put the caliper back on and pressed the brakes. after i released the pedal, i could not spin the rotor.
is this a bad brake hose or caliper?
also, when i drove the truck last, the pedal started to go all the way to the floor as i was braking. the truck would stop slowly, but the pedal was down to the ground.......bad master cylinder? would that also cause the front left brake to not release?
thanks
