Tie Down Disk Brakes. model 6600 I think. About 18 months old. Hub temps @ 200 F in stop and go traffic. Brakes work excellent. Things I've done/noticed. Calipers are clean and move by hand when disconnected from hydraulics. It is very difficult to move the calipers with a c-clamp to back off, after the brakes have been applied. If I apply the brakes, it is difficult for me to move the rotors by hand. If I back them off with a C-clamp, they need a shake to get them to back off the rotor contact point. It seems the caliper slide pins have alot of play in them. Maybe causing the lockup. I have lubricated the slide pins, no help. Seems to me there may be pressure in the lines still when the brakes are released. Really kinda stumped by this now. Does the master cylinder actually suck back on the lines and disegage the brakes/calipers? Is there adjustment for this? Brakes have been bled all the way through to fresh fluid. Is there anyway to check proper function of a master cylinder? It certainly puts them on very well, just does seem to back them off enough. I have also backed the castle nuts off 1 face to see if that helps. Heard that here before.
Please help, any long distance trips are out till repaired.
