Do you know brakes???
Hey all,
I've got a 1980 F-100 2WD 4.9L
After replacing the front brake pads I lost some pedal (this due to bottoming the caliper to get the new pads in) so I bled them down. I took it for a drive and noticed that the right front wheel was hanging. I jacked it up and I could barely turn the wheel. I got it loose with a c-clamp and removed the caliper from the truck and took the piston out of the caliper. The seals, piston, and caliper all look good. No damage or obstructions. So I put it all back together and bled the front brakes down again and the same thing happened. The left front is OK so I'm pretty sure it's not a broblem with the master cylinder. Now I'm stumped. Can anyone offer advice or have you had this problem. Thanks - BUBBA
