Default Re: All brakes stuck on

How do you know it is all 4 wheels? Did you jack it up and try to turn them all? It sounds to me like a bad brake hose. What happens is the inner liner of the hose collapses and becomes an impromptu check valve. You step on the brake and fluid goes into the caliper activating the brake. Then the flap of liner wont let the fluid flow back out of the caliper when you let off the brake. And so it just keeps getting tighter and tighter as you drive. Then when you park it and it sits it has time for the fluid to slowly bleed back past the blockage, releasing the brake until you use it again.

To locate the culprit jack up each wheel after it has been sitting and see if it turns. Then start it and press the brake hard a few times and then try to turn the wheel again. The one with the bad hose will be stuck now. Locate the bleeder on the caliper and crack it open. It should give a little high pressure squirt and the caliper should release.

Another way is if you have just driven it to the point where you can feel it dragging and is not wanting to go, get out and feel each hub. The one or ones that are sticking will be much hotter than the others. Be carefull, as it can be very hot.

Hope this helps!
